There's not a weak story in this book, there's no repetition between them. Joe Gordon's 'Memorial to Mothers' is a poignant and direct-to-soul type epilogue to the book, which includes more than the twenty-six narratives it states. Focus is not just on trench warfare, but the domestic front, the war from home in ammunition, entertainment, propaganda and the heart. At times this is a very ugly book. It bubbles up scenes of delirium washed in mud and throws legs at you. At other times, it's a wind...
If there is one collection to read on WWI history, it is this one.
I really appreciated the efforts here to go beyond the established WW1 narratives.
This collection pulls together a variety of stories, both fiction and non-fiction, all set during the Great War showing different views, events, experiences and tragedies in stark black, white and grey illustrations that seem to really capture the mood of each. The styles vary greatly but each one is connected to the other as the War affects them all. An insightful and compelling collection.
Great insight to the harsh reality of world war 1 from many different perspectives and from various artists and writers ....no great war depicted here
Somehow I had not heard of this book until I saw it in a sale from its publisher, Soaring Penguin Press. It was publicised with its two Eisner nominations (like the Oscars of comics), and that plus the subject matter was enough to get me to pony up the little bit of dough they were asking for this hefty anthology.In sharp contrast to the war it depicts from numerous angles, the book ends better than it begins. The start is rough and patchy and at times downright bewildering, but the second half
An excellent book that I am glad to be included in. Please check it out, folks. A key issue we need to consider is the reality of war and the experience of the soldiers, civilians and societies in it. Too many people still think its either glorious or inevitable. It's neither.
Excellent Graphical Historical book upon events of the First World War, show events from the European War and East Africa, Excellent, I love the art work included, it is very good, a sensation good review of the First World War. Includes many short graphic narratives based on actual events and it does it very well. A combination of writers and artists combine to make this excellent look into our history. Brilliant Five star!!!!!!!!
A collection of graphic short stories related to WWI.An array of subject matters and styles were used in this book and all the pieces were reasonable but none of them really grabbed me.
Well, I'm one of the contributors, but the I found all the stories beautifully illustrated and the content thought provoking.
