THE
BLACK PEARL was all over the news during the release of the
Star
Wars Special Edition trilogy, causing fans to hunt for the sold-out
series. Now the entire story is available in one package, "remastered"
to make it appropriate for all ages.
THE BLACK PEARL explores
the differences between reporting the news... and creating it. |

In 1945, we
told the world, "Never again." In 1992, the promise was broken into bloody
shards. That was the year the war broke out in Sarajevo, Bosnia, the year
that genocide revisited the planet. It was the year that Ervin Rustemagic
-- an international businessman whose clients included author Joe Kubert
-- found himself and his family trapped in a city under siege. Ervin's
only means of communication to the outside world was via his fax machine.
As Joe began to receive these messages from Ervin, he did what he had done
for years -- he put the story to paper.
.
From Booklist
Too few mainstream comics
artists have taken advantage of the adult comics revolution to explore
new subject matter. Kubert, best known for war comics, takes the plunge
with this graphic novel recounting the struggles of a Bosnian friend, Ervin,
to escape with his family. Trapped in Sarajevo as the city underwent Serbian
bombardment, Ervin was able to contact the outside world only by fax. Kubert's
highly effective work of agitprop is based on those faxes. His style is
not exactly understated, and his occasionally ungainly dialogue demonstrates
that he is an artist first, a writer second. His outrage shows on every
page, and he makes genuine drama out of this story of war's effects on
civilians, in which the briefest outdoor excursion is dangerous. Although
lacking the complexity and nuances of Sacco's Palestine (Kubert's depiction
of Serbian attackers is uncomfortably reminiscent of the hackneyed Nazis
in his earlier war comics), Kubert's work, like Sacco's, renders political
conflict understandable and with plenty of personal impact.
