A collection of classic EC war comics by Harvey Kurtzman, John Severin and Will Elder.
The
team of Harvey Kurtzman and John Severin was one of the most fruitful
collaborations in the history of comics. The work they did together
brings the gritty realism and psychological truth of Stephen Crane and a
verisimilitude to the page that it seems as if they are reporting from
the scene. Together with inker and friend Will Elder, whose own
obsession for detail perfectly complemented the impact they were all
striving to achieve, they produced 34 emotionally draining — and
dramatically eloquent — war stories in just under three years. This book
collects them all. Settings include: the Roman empire; the
Revolutionary War; the American-Indian Wars; the Alamo; the Civil War;
World War I (in the trenches and in the air); World War II (in the
Pacific and in Europe, including the D-Day invasion); and the Korean
War. Black & white
