23 Feet and 10 Inches of Joe Sacco
Sacco
The Great War:July 1, 1916: the first day of the Battle of the Somme by Joe Sacco. Joe Sacco is an illustrator and comic-journalist (like a photo-journalist but requiring more lead time) who has covered conflicts and news stories around the world. His latest book is an historical look at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Sacco did one illustration - 23' 10" long - folded into a book.
There are no descriptions within the illustration, Sacco tells the story from one continuous panel to the next from initial battle planning, to the massive week-long bombardment, to the disastrous first day of fighting. A separate booklet has a brief history of the Battle and a smaller, annotated version of the full illustration.
