From "Palestine" by Joe Sacco

     I was excited to see that this piece was about the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, because I just recently finished reading a historical fiction book on the same topic called Exile by James North Patterson. And while the literary comics are not my favorite, I could relate to this comic because of all of the background information I have just become aware of on this topic. The violence and amount of deaths in Israel is unbelievable, and this comic showing Sacco's journey to the hospital shows just that. His cartoons were very intricate, and at some points even disturbing. I really enjoyed the topic of his piece, though.
