This article analyzes the construction of verisimilitude realized in a graphic novel created by the American-Maltese author Joe Sacco, a work assignable to the genre denominated Comic-Journalism. The work undertakes this objective understanding the verisimilitude in the sense in which authors like Todorov, Kristeva, Barthes and Eco understood it; and taking into account the attribution of sources, the utilization of different degrees of iconicity in the drawing and the appropriation of own resources of audiovisual journalism grammar.Downloads
