The graphic journalism is a form of journalism that takes advantage of the potential of narrative and visual power of comics. More than a theory, a trend or a school, it is a practice adopted by the authors. The graphic reporter is always ready to gather as much evidence as possible on the object of his search. This is what happens in the work of Joe Sacco, Aleksandar Zograf and Igort: their graphic novels describe unknown places, situations and areas. In Italy the publisher BeccoGiallo has created a particular kind of comics, called civil comic. BeccoGiallo’s graphic novels talk about true crime stories, biographies and reportage about the world of migrants.
