Joe Sacco's books offer both sharp insight into the complexities of global politics and extraordinary glimpses of the everyday people who live in a war zones. He has been favorably compared with Pulitzer-Prize winner Art Spiegelman for his ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically-sensitive subject matter within the comic book medium. Sacco's third book, The Fixer, is a journey behind the scenes of war correspondence to reveal the anatomy of the big scoop. Underlying the scoop are Fixers--the people who sell war correspondents the human tragedy and moral outrage that makes news editors happy.
