OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM
More incredible stories from Garth Ennis as his 'BATTLEFIELDS' series continues exclusively from DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT! For this series - DEAR BILLY - Garth is joined by artist Peter Snjeberg and cover artist John Cassaday for a haunting tale of wartime in 1942... 1942: In the tropical splendour of the South China sea, as the Second World War spreads across the far east, a young woman finds herself in paradise... and then in hell. Nurse Carrie Sutton is caught up in the Japanese invasion of Singapore, suffering horrors beyond her wildest nightmares- and survives. Now she attempts to start her life anew, buoyed up by a growing friendship with a wounded pilot- only for fate to deliver up the last thing she ever expected. Carrie at last has a chance for revenge... but should she take it? In the midst of a world torn apart by war, you can fight and you can win- but you still might not get the things you truly want.
As the fortunes of war turn in the Allies' favour, Carrie begins a tentative love affair with Billy Wedgewood- whose fighter-bomber squadron is in the thick of the action against the Japanese. But Carrie's own war has taken a strange and terrible turn, and the secrets that she keeps will set her on a path that can only have one end...

Garth Ennis is probably best known for his hard-hitting but historically accurate and empathetic War Stories, fictionalising the heroics of War without shying too far away from the immense destructive force of modern warfare.
From the acclaimed writer of the hit series PREACHER, these are the finest war comics ever to see print in the modern age.
Ennis’s enthusiasm for the genre and respect for his subject matter shines through, leaving the reader with stories of 20th century warfare that are unlikely to leave them when the book is closed.
