In dit boek vertelt Sacco het verhaal van Neven, de fikser, een man die alles in het belegerde Sarajewo regelt. Het vertelt ook het verhaal van de krijgsheren in Sarajewo die de belegering van de Serviërs doorstaan. Ik weet niet of het komt door de geringere lengte van het boek, het minder complexe verhaal of dat ik het werk van Sacco al een beetje begin te kennen, maar dit boek van Sacco heeft op mij minder indruk gemaakt dan zijn vorige twee. Toch zonder meer een aanrader. ( )
In the end this black-and-white graphic novel presents a malleable world of gray where everyone’s goal is survival at any cost. With The Fixer, Joe Sacco reinforces his place as a comics master and journalist, and his work merits examination and celebration. Because many of its best qualities dwell in the subtleties of Sacco's layered narratives and not in documenting epic-scale conflict, The Fixer is not as instantly powerful as Palestine or Gorazde. Its depth, however, is tremendous. Brilliantly though the power of war to destroy, corrupt and degrade everything it touches is conveyed, the book's unrelieved grimness will be a problem for some. "The Fixer" continues one of the most creative and unique visions in the arts today. Joe Sacco has single-handedly created a media sub-genre: comix journalism. He brings alive the life and world of a funny, friendly, dangerous, mysterious person who seems a pure product of his place. He's a perfect comicbook character ... but he's real.

When bombs are falling and western journalism is the only game left in town "fixers" are the people who sell war correspondents the human tragedy and moral outrage that makes news editors happy. It's dangerous, a little amoral and a lot desperate. Award-winning comix-journalist Joe Sacco goes behind the scene of war correspondence to reveal the anatomy of the big scoop. He begins by returning us to the dying days of Balkan conflict and introduces us to his own fixer; a man looking to squeeze the last bit of profit from Bosnia before the reconstruction begins. Thanks to a complex relationship with the fixer Joe discovers the crimes of opportunistic warlords and gangsters who run the countryside in times of war. But the west is interested in a different spin on the stories coming out of Bosnia. Almost ten years later, Joe meets up with his fixer and sees how the new Bosnian government has "dealt" with these criminals and Joe ponders who is holding the reins of power these days...
