The complete softcover collection of the Bosnian War stories from the author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza.
“A searing and amusing look at the motley collection of reporters, war profiteers, criminals, soldiers and hapless civilians trapped in a warzone.” —The New York Times
The Fixer and Other Stories is a new softcover that collects Joe Sacco's landmark short stories on the Bosnian War that previously comprised the hardcover editions of The Fixer and War's End.  Using old-fashioned pen and paper, the award-winning cartoonist Joe Sacco reports from the sidelines of wars around the world.
"Sacco is one of the most astute war-zone correspondents working today" — Rolling Stone
The Fixer and Other Stories is a new softcover that collects Sacco’s landmark short stories on the Bosnian War that previously comprised the hardcover editions of The Fixer and War’s End.
“Sacco demonstrates that the narrative arts, including comics, can gather up complicated social truths with a gradual patience that often eludes the camera.” —The Boston Globe

Cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco recounts his experiences at the end of the brutal Bosnian War. In the lead story, Sacco introduces Neven, a charismatic man who makes a shady living for cash, cigarettes, food or alcohol by leading reporters through Bosnia's war-torn landscape. Sacco crossed paths with disparate figures from the Balkan conflict, from Radovan Karadzic, the notorious war criminal, to Soba, a young Sarajevan struggling to recover from the trauma of war and renew his creative ambitions. In this collection, which contains the previously published hardcovers THE FIXER and WAR'S END, the acclaimed author of SAFE AREA GORAZDE uses his award-wining comics reportage to uncover the compelling and uncompromising war stories that do not make the evening news.
