Safe Area Gorazde
By Joe Sacco
In the mid-&amp;#39;90s, Gorazde was an island in the middle of the Bosnian war. It was a predominantly Muslim enclave in Serb-controlled territory that was spared&amp;#8212;relatively speaking&amp;#8212;from genocide but not from suffering. Graphic in every sense of the term, Sacco’s account of everyday life in a city under siege puts one of the twentieth century’s least understood catastrophes in perspective; it’s the best argument around for comics as a journalistic medium.
