War on Gaza

Heartbreakingly funny, grotesquely brutal, and admirably unflinching, War on Gaza seethes with a rage that will stay with you long after it's final page.


A timely satirical broadside on Israel’s genocidal campaign against Gaza by the most acclaimed comics journalist working today.

Joe Sacco is well known as an unflinching chronicler of the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people (Palestine, 1993; Footnotes in Gaza, 2010). He continues this mission with War on Gaza, a series of graphic commentaries on Israel’s rampage that began more than a year ago and continues relentlessly today.

Published in installments on The Comics Journal’s website, War on Gaza is a series of comics and single-panel illustrations that lay bare the naked immorality of the “war” itself and its dire and tragic consequences. Employing his trademark combination of honesty, compassion, and dark humor, Sacco’s War on Gaza is an uncompromising critique of Israel’s genocide and the complicity of President Joe Biden and the United States.

“With the exception of one or two novelists and poets, no one has ever rendered this terrible state of affairs better than Joe Sacco.” — EDWARD W. SAID
