The team of Harvey Kurtzman and John Severin was one of the most
fruitful collaborations in the history of comics. The work they did
together brings the gritty realism and psychological truth of
Stephen Crane and a verisimilitude to the page that it seems as if
they are reporting from the scene. Together with inker and friend
Will Elder, whose own obsession for detail perfectly complemented
the impact they were all striving to achieve, they produced 34
emotionally draining and dramatically eloquent war stories in just
under three years. This book collects them all. Settings include:
the Roman empire; the Revolutionary War; the American-Indian Wars;
the Alamo; the Civil War; World War I (in the trenches and in the
air); World War II (in the Pacific and in Europe, including the
D-Day invasion); and the Korean War."

An excellent volume in the Fantagraphics EC reprint series. John Severin inked by Will Elder, complimenting each other in this book. Beautifully printed in black and white, on thick matt paper.
