In the spring of 2025 Joe Sacco and Chris Hedges – who previously teamed up a decade ago on Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt –  traveled to Cairo, Egypt and interviewed 29 Palestinian families who had recently left Gaza.  Requiem for Gaza is the result.  This 142 page hardcover transcribes these interviews into a synthesis of reportage and portrait that is roughly 1/3 comics and illustrations by Sacco and 2/3 text by Hedges (which has been heavily annotated and footnoted for verification and source mapping).  Taken together, Requiem for Gaza provides a detailed – and visceral – up close and personal record of the horrific costs that have been borne by Palestinian civilians of Gaza as a result of the overwhelming, savage, and continual Israeli reprisal attacks in the wake of the brutal fall 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. 

A preview (of Sacco's comics) is available from The Believer Magazine, HERE.  Check it out.
