PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
WAR STORY GRAPHIC NOVEL. NIGHTENGALE
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEMS FEATURING THE BRITISH NAVY SET DURING WORLD WAR 2.
explore the true horrors of World War II. The crew members of the Nightingale are the only survivors of a vicious attack at sea, and they're now under the superstitious belief that they are a cursed ship, shunned by the rest of the navy as bad luck and a "ship of the damned."
Ennis can be a sensitive craftsman who does real credit to himself when covering a serious topic.
providing a heart-pounding close-up look at life and death on the front lines of World War II, “Nightingale” is a naval tale following a British destroyer’s course through dark sea heading toward a darker hell…
While escorting fully loaded merchantmen across a cold stormy Atlantic toward a starving Russia, the captain and crew of the Nightingale receive urgent orders to break up the convoy due to imminent threats from opposing surface ships. The orders are carried out and later, after vicious attacks from U-boats, the Nightingale is the only vessel to return from the original escort. Now branded as “bad luck” by the rest of the navy, the Nightingale is a damned ship and its crew sullenly awaits their next mission with a silent understanding there is a debt to be paid…and with hope for some kind of redemption.
PUBLISHED BY DC COMICS IN 2001.
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.
