review:
'Life Under Occupation' by Jose Pablo Garcia is a non-fiction graphic novel about the author's trip to Palestine with the group Action Against Hunger and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation.

The graphic novel has plenty of serious moments, but the author has lighter ones as well, like when he was initially asked to go on the trip and had to endure a series of meetings. There is also the time, his sketchbook is commandeered by a child. Less humorous are the arduous border crossings into Palestinian territory, and the destroyed houses and livelihoods. The graphic novel presents things pretty factually without taking particular sides, except that of a member of an aid organization trying to help people.

I liked the art. It was a really great style, and the author seems like he's got compassion as well as a sense of humor.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
