Joe Sacco is best known as a journalist whose dispatches from places like the Middle East and Bosnia come in the form of cartoons.
In his latest book, “The Great War,” Sacco uses his drawings to depict the first day of one of the worst battles of World War I: the Battle of the Somme.
Sacco recreates that day from its hopeful beginning to its brutal end in a book that is a 24-foot-long panorama.
