review 1: This collection of tales from WWI provides a gritty view of the horrors of front line combat in the Great War. Like the book "Company K", it relates the trials of the lowest ranks as they struggle to survive in a manmade hellscape.Tardis uses his realistic style to good effect in recreating the horrors of war and developing complex individuals whom you glance for only a moment before they are pulverized by a shell or silenced by a sniper's bullet.
review 2: My previous foray with Jacques Tardi was "You are There." And... yeah. Noooot a fan. But wow, this is a huge step up.A series of graphic vignettes from the tranches of WWI, it is pretty damned depressing. Certainly an anti-war work, and result (apparently) of an obsession with his Grandfather's stories fr... moreom WWI. The artwork is visceral (literally, often), and there is less of the "wall of text" syndrome that plagued "You are There". It was also interesting to spend time with French "Poilus" instead of "Tommies" and "doughboys" less
