New Releases by Joe Sacco

Joe Sacco se v Posredniku (The Fixer) znajde v Bosni, kjer se je odvijala že zgodba njegovega prvega večjega dela o Balkanu, Varovanega območja Goražde. V Sarajevo se je vrnil leta 2001 in se tam srečal z Nevenom, vojnim veteranom, ki je zanj delal že med vojno in je tujemu novinarju za pravo ceno lahko priskrbel karkoli. Avtor je počasi začutil, da je Nevenova zgodba – subjektivno izkustvo vojne – izredno zanimiva sama na sebi. Sacco tako prek Nevena pripoveduje zgodbe paravojaških šefov in mafijcev, ki so državi vladali med vojno, hkrati pa se – skupaj z bralcem – nenehno sprašuje, koliko resnice je v Nevenovih besedah.

Joe Sacco, born in Brooklyn, New York, currently resides in Montgomery County, Maryland with his wife, five boys and two rescue shelties. He was a science teacher and principal in Montgomery County, Maryland. Currently, he is the Associate Director of Education for Friends of the National Zoo in Washington DC. He was inspired to write this book after a trip to Churchill, Canada. During this trip, he met a large male bear, Dancer. Dancer would like to remind us all that "everyone, regardless of age, can make a difference."

"En Notas al pie de Gaza, Sacco retoma algunos de los temas que ya describió en Palestina hace casi dos décadas, pero en lugar de centrarse en la situación actual en los territorios palestinos ocupados y los campos de refugiados, echa la vista atrás para desentrañar los hechos oscuros que concluyeron con la matanza de cientos de palestinos civiles a manos de soldados israelíes en noviembre de 1956 en las ciudades de Khan Younis y Rafah. Sacco no es imparcial y no pretende serlo. Habiendo leído Palestina es obvio que sus simpatías están con el pueblo palestino y es su punto de vista y su historia la que el dibujante maltés quiere ofrecer al público. Con la realización de este libro, Sacco pretende por una parte, arrojar luz sobre lo que puede ser haber sido una gran mentira histórica promovida por los israelíes –que la mantaza se produjo ante la resistencia de los palestinos- y al mismo tiempo le interesa excavar hasta dar con las raíces del odio entre los dos pueblos".

Quinze ans après la publication de son premier livre, Palestine une nation occupée, Joe Sacco retourne dans la bande de Gaza pour enquêter sur un massacre de la population palestinienne par l''armée israélienne en 1956.

Em novembro de 1956, nas cidades de Khan Younis e Rafah, centenas de civis foram mortos pelo exército israelense em uma incursão militar que tinha tudo para ser uma operação rotineira de captura de guerrilheiros palestinos. Segundo um dos poucos relatórios da ONU disponíveis, os soldados teriam simplesmente entrado em pânico ao deparar com uma multidão em fuga. Já de acordo com o primeiro ministro israelense, as tropas teriam entrado em confronto com rebeldes armados, muito embora não tenha ocorrido uma única baixa entre suas fileiras. Em ''Notas sobre Gaza'', Joe Sacco mergulha nos escombros de um conflito para reconstituir alguns dos eventos da escalada de violência em que se transformou a relação entre israelenses e palestinos.

A look at rock and roll culture based on author''s two year visit to Germany. In comic book format.

Joe Sacco''s books offer both sharp insight into the complexities of global politics and extraordinary glimpses of the everyday people who live in a war zones. He has been favorably compared with Pulitzer-Prize winner Art Spiegelman for his ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically-sensitive subject matter within the comic book medium. In 1995, just prior to the Dayton Peace Accord, Sacco spent four months in Sarajevo and its surrounding areas. There he began his book Safe Area: Gorazde, a staggering and fierce condemnation of the political impotence and badly planned UN operations during the Bosnian conflict.

¿Cómo reconcilia un artista el verse forzado a acudir al frente de un conflicto brutal que cambiará su vida y su tierra natal para siempre? ¿Qué ocurre cuando un reportero finalmente se encuentra cara a cara con un criminal de guerra? Antes de sus rompedoras Gorazde: Zona Protegida, El mediador y Palestina, Joe Sacco creó dos historias cortas sobre personajes de cada lado de la línea de fuego. Soba y Navidad con Karadzic se recopilan por primera vez en este libro. En Soba, Joe Sacco captura el tormento interno de un artista guerrero de Sarajevo que cautivó a los medios de Occidente con su guitarra y sus fiestas. En Navidad con Karadzic, el autor aporta al lector una vista de cerca del proceso, de un humor negro, para obtener una noticia que ni siquiera saldrá en los titulares, mientras persigue a uno de los criminales de la guerra serbobosnia más buscados.

Follow award-winning cartoon journalist Joe Sacco on one of the most dangerous beats of all: rock ''n'' roll! The centerpiece of the book is an expanded version of "In the Company of Long Hair," the early ''90s graphic novelette Sacco created on the subject of his raucous European tour with the punk band, the Miracle Workers. "Long Hair" appears here for the first time in an expanded version with an added 15-page section of his original sketches and notes from the time, and a bound-in CD featuring an excerpt from the Miracle Workers'' live shows - including a blasting version of the Iggy Pop classic, "I Got a Right." As for the rest of the book: Sacco turns his pitiless pen on all strata of Rock ''n'' Roll, from old rockers (two stories on the Rolling Stones) to new; from salacious gossip to how-to ("Woodstock in your Own Home"); from portraits of typical rock creatures ("Record Producer," "The Musician Who Wanted to Save the World," "The Rock Journalist") to self-deprecating autobiographical stories.

Recueil des deux travaux de Joe Sacco, fruit de ses voyages en Bosnie : Noël avec Karadzic et Soba. Karadzic, criminel de guerre serbo-croate, et Soba, fantasque peintre-rock star, sont présentés à travers ces deux recueils.

En parte documental de viajes, en parte autobiografía satírica, en parte sátira pura y simple, Apuntes de un derrotista recopila, por primera vez, los trabajos de menos extensión que llevaron a Joe Sacco hacia sus dos piezas mayores, las obras maestras del "cómic-periodismo" Palestina, ganadora del American Book Award y la novela gráfica, éxito de ventas, Gorazde, zona protegida. De hecho, Sacco allanó el camino para Palestina con un potente tríptico sobre la guerra moderna y las víctimas inocentes, publicando originalmente en su cómic Yahoo e incluido en este libro: "Cuando las bombas buenas caen sobre la gente mala" narra el efecto de los ataques aéreos sobre la población civil, desde Alemania y Japón durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta Libia en 1986; "Más mujeres, más niños, más deprisa" está escrito desde la perspectiva de una víctima y Sacco muestra las ho

War cartoonist Sacco visits the Bosnian conflict to uncover the stories that are often ignored or uncovered by traditional media and gives the reader an inside peek at the darkly humorous news process.

Em ''Uma História de Saravejo'', o fio condutor é Neven, um sujeito à beira da loucura e um tanto explorador, personificando uma cidade destruída física e moralmente pela guerra. Todas as nuances do conflito são fornecidas pela multifacetada origem étnica e religiosa da cidade, podendo colocar o leitor a par da complexidade que envolve aquela pequena região do planeta.

When bombs are falling and western journalism is the only game left in town "fixers" are the people who sell war correspondents the human tragedy and moral outrage that makes news editors happy. It’s dangerous, a little amoral and a lot desperate. Award-winning comix-journalist Joe Sacco goes behind the scene of war correspondence to reveal the anatomy of the big scoop. He begins by returning us to the dying days of Balkan conflict and introduces us to his own fixer; a man looking to squeeze the last bit of profit from Bosnia before the reconstruction begins. Thanks to a complex relationship with the fixer Joe discovers the crimes of opportunistic warlords and gangsters who run the countryside in times of war. But the west is interested in a different spin on the stories coming out of Bosnia. Almost ten years later, Joe meets up with his fixer and sees how the new Bosnian government has "dealt" with these criminals and Joe ponders who is holding the reins of power these days...

Collects illustrated, satirical stories about the author''s life, war, politics, and sex, including the tales "Voyage to the End of the Library" and "When Good Bombs Happen to Bad People."

O livro é a viagem que Joe Sacco fez ao Oriente Médio, entre 91 e 92. Durante dois meses ele coletou histórias nas ruas, nos hospitais, nas escolas e nas casas de refugiados, onde ele fez mais de 100 entrevistas com palestinos e judeus. Com rara sensibilidade e perspicácia, o artista criou uma série de nove histórias. ''Palestina - Uma nação ocupada'' reuniu alguns desses relatos; ''Palestina - Na Faixa de Gaza'' dá continuidade às incursões de Sacco por essas regiões.
