Joe Sacco is an extraordinary comic artist in the field, who has traveled to many parts of the world to do his research. In the early 1990s, he went to the Middle East to do research for his award-winning 'Palestine' (1993-1995). He also traveled to former Yugoslavia to find material for his 'Stories from Bosnia' and 'Safe Area: Gorazde'.

Sacco's comics are partly autobiographical, as he appears as a character in most of his comics. It is the combination of journalism, autobiography and comics that makes Joe Sacco an artist who is difficult to imitate. A good example of this unique style can be found in his 'Christmas with Karadic', which was serialized in Zero Zero magazine.
