A sniper in Haiti faces the repercussions of the shot he never
took. A team of SEALs help rescue a kidnapped girl in the
Philippines. Army interpreters in Iraq battle their toughest foe:
the rats of Saddam's palace. A soldier on a late-night run
surprises a motorpool saboteur. A young cavalry lieutenant, fresh
off the Battle of Kamdesh, meets the Marine half-brother he's never
known. A Navy ship reacts to an unexpected man overboard. And if
you've ever wondered what Christmas was like in a war zone, you're
about to find out. True War Stories is a 260-page full color
graphic novel anthology containing fifteen true tales of American
service members overseas. Nearly every branch of the military is
represented in this collection of stories that are heartwarming,
heroic, harrowing, and even at times, hilarious, spanning the
globe. This unique project, assembled by the multiple-Eisner
nominated writer/editor, Alex de Campi and co-written/edited by
Iraq War veteran Khai Krumbhaar is an entertaining and moving work
of graphic nonfiction, pairing members of the US military with the
biggest names in comics to share real war stories told by those who
lived them. Artists include Peter Krause, Ryan Howe, Skylar
Patridge (drawing her own father's Vietnam story), Eoin Marron,
Tish Doolin (a former Army medic), Dave Acosta, A. D'Amico, Drew
Moss, Josh Hood, PJ Holden, Chris Peterson, Sam Hart, Jeff
McComsey, and Paul Williams. Colors are by Dee Cunniffe, Matt
Soffe, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Tarsis Cruz, and Aladdin Collar. All
lettering is done by de Campi herself.
