Boaz Yakin,Nick Bertozzi
Jerusalem, is a sweeping, epic work that follows a single familyâ€”three generations and fifteen very different peopleâ€”as they are swept up in chaos, war, and nation-making from 1940-1948. Faith, family, and politics are the heady mix that fuel this ambitious, cinematic graphic novel.,Â ,With ,Jerusalem,, author-filmmaker BoazÂ Yakin turns his finely-honed storytelling skills to a topic near to his heart: Yakin's family lived in Palestine during this period and was caught up in the turmoil of war just as his characters are. This is a personal work, but it is not a book with a political ax to grind. Rather,Â this comicÂ seeks to tell the stories of a huge cast of memorable characters as they wrestle with a time when nothing was clear and no path was smooth.
