Summary

As long as comic books have existed, there have been comics about war. War Stories: A Graphic History is the first book to examine this genre of comics in depth, tracing the development of warfare--from Thermopylae to the Napoleonic Wars; the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars to World Wars I and II; and from the Korean and Vietnam Wars to modern day conflicts--through the eyes of some of comics' greatest creators.

Through the filter of sequential art, this lush and exciting visual compilation explores the history of global conflict--from the Alamo to Pearl Harbor, from Dunkirk to Iraq and Afghanistan--and features exquisite art from around the world.

Includes a foreword by Garth Ennis.
