OTBP: Joe Sacco in WWIII Illustrated

I may be the last person to notice this, as I waited to look only when the actual comic fell into my lap, but the recent anniversary issue of World War III Illustrated (#36) contained in addition to the usual combination of all-stars and interesting dabblers a short story by Joe Sacco called "Complacency Kills" about his time embedded with U.S. Troops in Iraq. It originally ran in I think the Guardian, and sat on their site as a massive but worthwhile Adobe Acrobat download for a time. Heck, it may still be there. Anyway, it's a really nice piece, and worth the entire full price ($5) of this issue. I believe WWIII is still repped in the direct market by Top Shelf, a company that also sells directly.

Update: Derik A. Badman wrote in to say that the Guardian still has the Sacco story in computer-locking-up-for-100-days PDF form. In fact, it takes so long on my computer I don't know even know if the link is any good. Click at your own risk!
