Joe Sacco's Article: The Underground War in Gaza

Newspapers are very important in our American society. They are offering us a wealth of reliable information on what is happening at our domestic and foreign levels. Newspapers are usually sold to expose conflict, peace, knowledge, loss, and other cultural media. Not all newspapers issue international news, but the New York Times issued a comic "Gaza Underground War" on July 6, 2003. In his manga, he revealed the confrontation between Israel and Palestine.

Joe Sacco took another strategy and wrote it in the Middle East as an outsider in the form of graphic novels (actually strip of strips). In his own graphic novel, he seems to be a strange sky. At the end of the initial survey, I visited the Gaza Strip and Palestinian refugee camps and villages. There are lots of humor, rain, mud, cold (and tea cup) than I thought. Manga character Joe took dinner with two liberal Israeli women and Palestinians who wanted him to enter the United States. Despite the grassroots point of view people and life, this book is as strict about its cumulative effect as Carnafani.

The remarkable trend in graphic novels is the use of memoirs or autobiographical literary works. There is no statistical evidence to prove this, but the example is sufficient. Joe Sacco's Palestine is based on his experience in the Gaza Strip from December 1991 to January 1992; Kiyama's four immigrant comics: Japan's experience in San Francisco is changing in San Francisco in the 20th century I will explain his immigration as a Japanese immigrant in the landscape. Experience; Joe Coubert's fax from Sarajevo: The surviving story is the real story of his two-and-a-half bombing and destruction of his friend Ervin Raste Magic and his hometown town. Then these will be non-imaginary graphic stories

However, it is the writer / artist Joe Sacco who first comments on the current event using non-fiction cartoons. After the First Gulf War, he was frustrated by the politics of the Middle East and was dissatisfied with his prejudice report that an American journalist was in the occupied place of Israel. So Sacco went there with a sketchbook and reported the situation in the area in the cartoon. Initially, Sacco had planned to make a simpler journey, but when he walked through Gaza and West Bank to learn the daily fight of ordinary people, he was more ambitious like any novel I was urged to create a unique work. People pay attention. This will receive the first page of the work, Palestine, the American Book Award for the version it gathers. Comic news we know may not exist without such a Sacco page
