"The Fixer - A Story From Sarajevo" by Joe Sacco (part 2)

I have finally managed to get around to posting these - too busy with work, family and the veg garden... What I like about them is how real these characters look - their faces, expressions, postures etc. It's almost like you are there experiencing the events yourself which makes you really appreciate how observant and skillful the artist is in depicting the scenes.

"The Fixer - A story from Sarajevo" by Joe Sacco, published by Jonathan Cape 2004

Joe Sacco writes AND illustrates this book. Very powerful drawings capturing the mood and the horrors of the war in Bosnia. There's a biography of the artist on http://www.fantagraphics.com/ (follow the links on individual artists). I'll be scanning some more pages for an other post.
