Mike CONROY - War Comics. A Graphic History
Ilex 2009 (192 p. ill.) - ISBN: 978-1905814473

Examining how stories of conflict have been told in comics down the years, this book covers everything from EC Comics depictions of the "US Civil War" to Joe Saccos reportage on modern, assymmetric, conflicts. Comics from the First and Second World Wars are put in context, with their propaganda-driven plotlines and enemy-bashing superheroes, but the book also covers rebellious, anti-war, underground comix, horror comics, investigative journalism and more thoughtful mainstream developments such as Charleys War. "War Comics: A Graphic History" exposes this fascinating genre in all its many forms.

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.
