Zara Faces Backlash and Boycott Calls Over Controversial Gaza-Inspired Ad Campaign

The graphic novel "Gaza" by Joe Sacco, which explores the author's experiences in the enclave in 1991, has seen a surge in demand since the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas. The book, considered a pioneer in "comic journalism," has been praised for its portrayal of the Palestinian situation. The publisher, Fantagraphics, is reprinting the novel due to increased orders from retailers and wholesalers. Sacco expressed his desire to return to Gaza to see his friends and acknowledged the enduring tragedy faced by the Palestinians.
