Product Description
From the acclaimed writer of the hit series PREACHER, these are the finest war comics ever to see print in the modern age.
D-DAY DODGERS tells the story of the thousands of war-weary, and largely forgotten, young Allied soldiers fighting in the blood, dust, snow and mud of the Italian country side while the world's attention was riveted by the war in France. This action-packed and powerful story stands as moving tribute to the too-often mistreated men fighting in the trenches of any war.
The "D-Day Dodgers" fighting in Italy are accused of cowardice for escaping the "real" war.
based apon "The Ballard of the D-Day Dodgers" Which Lady Astor was accused of making an offensive speech on the men who continued to fight up Italy's country side towards Germany instead of Fighting on the Beaches of Normandy. There's never been proof she made light of those who continued the advancement up Italy as bad. But, shortly someone made the infamous Ballard of these brave soldiers which pokes at Lady Astor comments rather true or not.
