Joe Sacco, whose Safe Area Gorazde has received excellent press recently (see 'Safe Area Gorazde'), drew four new pages of his special brand of comic reportage for the issue of Time Magazine that is out today -- March 5, 2001. The pages depict Sacco's return to the Middle East for the first time since the 1990s, when he honed his graphic journalistic chops with an in-depth look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that was eventually published by Fantagraphics Books as Palestine. Sacco is the premier practitioner of journalism by comic strip, and his unique abilities have brought him to the attention of the editors of Details, and now Time Magazine. This summer Fantagraphics Books will publish a one-shot comic book of Sacco's reactions to his return to the Middle East during this turbulent period. A new collected edition of Palestine is due out this month.
