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.

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.

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. This volume showcases tales of a world at war.

A British pilot is assigned to a Cam Ship as part of a string of unfortunate luck. But his experiences make him realise he shouldn't put off living his life just because he might die at any moment.

The story begins with a POV shot from our main character’s plane during a wicked dogfight. He’s just managed to stitch a line of bullet holes across the wing of his commanding officer’s plane. This mistake does not endear himself to his CO, who banishes him to the camship program. It may as well be a death sentence.

The program was designed to provide aerial protection for Allied convoys from long-range German bombers. A modified fighter plane is launched via rocket-rail from the back of a merchant ship to fend off the enemy planes. The pilots were expected to ditch in the freezing North Atlantic or fly to land – if they had enough fuel. It was a crazy-ass idea.

Our hero thinks so, too.

"Archangel" strikes a decidedly lighter tone than Ennis' other three War Stories, but it is no less effective. The aerial sequences are beautifully rendered by Gary Erskine.

The action is thrilling, all the more so because you know that men like these were out there, less than a lifetime ago, sacrificing their lives for their countries and their beliefs. Both writing and art feel authentic and sympathetic, unafraid to portray the horrors of war but managing to portray their characters as normal men, turned into heroes through circumstances way beyond their control.

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.

WAR STORY GRAPHIC NOVEL. CONDORS

OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEMS FEATURING HEROES SET DURING THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR.

INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE

1938 before World War II engulfed Europe, all eyes were on the Spanish Civil War. It was a war of fascism versus socialism, dictator versus king, Germany versus Europe, and everyone was choosing sides. What happens when a Spaniard, a German, an Irishman, and an Englishman find themselves trapped in the same foxhole? Their story is told in WAR STORY: CONDORS, written by Garth Ennis (PREACHER, HITMAN, Punisher) with art by Carlos Ezquerra (ADVENTURES IN THE RIFLE BRIGADE). And just as he did with the first highly acclaimed series of WAR STORY books, Ennis delivers a combination of grit and personality that has rocketed him to the top of the comics field. CONDORS tells the tale of four very different soldiers who all want the same thing: to win their war. As battles rage outside of Madrid, the men each with his own world view and reasons for fighting find themselves face-to-face with the enemy as they all take cover in the same foxhole. With little water or food and just one pistol among them, they must figure out how to survive the night...and each other.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a Spaniard, an Englishman, a German, and an Irishman are trapped in the same foxhole for the night. It’s no joke, it’s part of Garth Ennis’s War Story series of tales about war and conflicts around the world. This time Ennis’s target is the Spanish Civil War, where four men take cover in a foxhole to hide from a barrage of artillery. With few effective weapons, they decide to wait out the bombardment together, despite being on opposite sides of the war. As each tells the story that led them there, they learn that their ideologies and reasons for fighting are as different as they are. Three of the four have romanticized the notion of war as offering something of value. Then the Spaniard shares his story, offering a horrifying vision of the toll taken by true and endless warfare.

Germany, April 1945. Johann Kleist commands a German tank crew that has realized that their homeland is fighting a war it can no longer win, and they decide they don't want a part of it anymore.

In WAR STORY: JOHANN'S TIGER, we follow an unlikely lead character, a German soldier named Johann Kleist. He has four hopeless types under his command, and a Tiger tank nicknamed "Big Max." It is early April 1945, and the war will be over soon. The Russians are beating the Germans back with relentless ferocity, and the Nazis are tired and demoralized. Kleist and the men who man "Big Max" have made the decision to be realistic, quit the war, and go find some Americans to accept their surrender. Kleist will hand over his men, but for himself he has other plans. Unfortunately, those plans may go horribly awry, and one last battle will determine the fate of the crew of the panzer known as "Big Max."

All these decades later, the Nazis remain one of humanity's most potent examples of pure evil. Even in our politically correct times - when we are cautioned to remember that in every group there are always those who questioned or disagreed with the policies of their government - it is sometimes difficult to separate the individuals from the mass of monsters. It's a brave writer who tries to find the humanity in evil, and here we have a story that focuses not on familiar American heroes, but on German soldiers who only want the war to be over. They may be indeed be evil or merely ignorant, but they are also human. Through his internal narrative monologue, Kleist invites us to understand that he was committed to his duty but not Hitler's ideals, until the day that he realized what he had become and the guilt enveloped his soul. Kleist is a haunted man who has committed atrocities for which there is no better punishment than the "endless torment" known as living.
