"Make no mistake, everywhere you go, not just in Marvel Comics,
there's parallel universes...Here? On the surface streets: traffic, couples in love,
falafel-to-go, tourists in jogging suits licking stamps for postcards... And over the
wall behind closed doors: other things-people strapped to chairs, sleep deprivation,
the smell of piss...other things happening for "reasons of national
security""
— Joe Sacco (Palestine)
