Based on several months of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s (where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews), Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like his Safe Area Gorazde, Palestine has been favorably compared to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus, for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically-sensitive subject matter within the confines of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist, and he is certainly the best. Hardcover. This is the Spanish language edition. "Los personajes de Joe Sacco, extraidos directamente de la realidad, tienen anhelos que van mas alla de las guerras en la que se ven absurdamente implicados." -Jaume Vidal, El Pais. "Con sarcasmo feroz, Sacco resume su estancia en Gaza como un rosario de reuniones en estancias miserables con refugiados que toman te y cuentan sus tragedias. La pesadilla lo es doblemente por repetitiva." -Juan Miguel Diaz de Guerenu, Revista de libros.
