LA Weekly’s Kristine McKenna Interviews Joe Sacco



"I’ve been doing comics since I was 6 years old, so it’s a medium that’s been with me for a very long time, and I think there are advantages to it. It’s accessible and immediate — right away, the reader is thrust into a small town in Bosnia. I can make the crane that allows me to hover above a city — I don’t have to hire a helicopter to get the picture — and I can take the reader into someone’s past. I can ask visual questions that allow me to render it as faithfully as a film director.">>>



LA Weekly Features The Fixer & Acme Novelty Datebooke on Best of 2003 List



The LA Weekly published their annual comics issue in which they featured Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Datebook & Joe Sacco's The Fixer as some of the best graphic novels of the year.



On Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Datebook:

"This book reflects the humility, humor and genius of its author and forever ends the discussion of whether cartoonists should be considered artists."



On Joe Sacco's The Fixer:

"Few newscasts will give you a clearer or more indelible picture of recent global conflict than one of Joe Sacco’s books...The Fixer is no different. "
