From the one-man vanguard of "serious comics dealing with serious issues" Joe Sacco (the proponent of what Time magazine so delighfully calls: "comix-journalism"): The Fixer sticks you head first into the muddy realities and extreme happenings of the Bosnian War and all of it's many sticky aftermaths... The Louis Theroux/Jon Ronson of graphic novel reportage Joe Sacco tells of his own dealings with "The Fixer" a Bosnian resident called Neven who - for the right price - can help journalists get the inside scoop and exclusive assess that they crave. Think Del Boy - only even more unscrupulous.
