Press Release
From Dark Horse Comics, Publisher of Fax From Sarajevo

Legendary comic creator, Joe Kubert has accomplished on the pages of FAX FROM SARAJEVO what no journalist, politician, or social commentator has yet been able to do- to go inside the horrors of the Bosnian war and bring it into the homes of a previously unaffected western audience. Now the award-winning graphic book is available for the first time in paperback.

Joe Kubert's FAX FROM SARAJEVO chronicles more than a year of fax transmissions sent from behind the Bosnian war lines by Kubert's friend and business associate, Ervin Rustemagic.

These transmissions aren't a journalists view of a foreign war - they are minute-by-minute accounts of a father's anguish as unexpected terrors are delivered upon his family and neighbors.

"This book is not fiction," said Kubert. "It is based on the daily messages I received from my friend and agent, Ervin Rustemagic. Trapped with his family in the Bosnian war zone, his only communication to the outside world was through his faxes. His messages described the horrors and frustrations visited on the defenseless people of Sarajevo. Not since World War II has such 'ethnic cleansing' been visited upon a people."

FAX FROM SARAJEVO, published by Dark Horse Publishing Company, is available as a full-color, 224 page story in paperback including text and photographs documenting the war and it's terrifying affects on a nation- and the world. This unique book is available at The Joe Kubert Art and Graphic Supply Store. The price is $16.95 plus shipping and handling.
