Krieg In Comic Graphic Novel Und Literatur Ii

Kriege und ihre Folgen spielen in Comics und Graphic Novels seit dem Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine thematisch herausragende Rolle. Bereits im vorherigen Jahrbuch (Vol. XXIV/2018) widmeten sich einige Beiträge diesem Thema. Autoren wie Joe Sacco reagieren aber auch im Rahmen des »Comic-Journalismus« auf aktuelle Konflikte und Krisen. Zwei umfangreiche Beiträge widmen sich detailliert diesem »Comic-Journalismus« sowie Art Spiegelmans Reaktion auf 9/11 in seinem In the Shadow of no Towers. Darüber hinaus beschäftigen sich Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger mit der Kriegsliteratur im und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg am Beispiel von bislang wenig beachteten Texten von Alfred Hein, Mara Heinze- Hofrichter, Max Hermann-Neiße und Paul Linde sowie mit der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda.

In times of war, soldiers on the front lines must show their bravery. But acts of courage by some people aren't known until years after the fighting ends.

Between 1941 and 1945, Hitler was pummeled on comic book covers by everyone from Captain America to Wonder Woman. Take That, Adolf! is an oversized compilation of more than 500 stunningly restored comics covers published during World War II, featuring America’s greatest super-villain. From Superman and Daredevil to propaganda and racism, Take That, Adolf! is a fascinating look at how legendary creators such as Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Alex Schomburg, Will Eisner, and Lou Fine entertained millions of kids on the home front and buoyed the spirits of GIs fighting overseas by using Adolf Hitler as a punching bag.

A beautifully illustrated and poignant graphic memoir that tells the story of World War II from an Everyman's perspective. In March of 1943, Scott Chantler's grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped out across the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, along with his best friend, Jack, a fellow officer. Not long afterward, they would find themselves making a rocky crossing of the English Channel, about to take part in one of the most pivotal and treacherous military operations of World War II: the Allied invasion of Normandy. Two Generals tells the story of what happened there through the eyes of these two young men -- not the celebrated military commanders or politicians we often hear about, but everyday heroes who risked their lives for the Allied cause. Meticulously researched and gorgeously illustrated, Two Generals is a harrowing story of battle and a touching story of friendship -- and a vital and vibrant record of unsung heroism.

First issue of the epic and incredible telling of the early days of the United States during the Second World War. Days of Darkness covers the darkest days of World War II for the US, when the country went from the tragedy of Pearl Harbor to the triumph at Midway. Covered in detail is the attack of the US Naval base and the devastation of the fleet at Hawaii, then the action moves to the evacuation and fall of the Philippines to the horror of the Death March of Bataan, and finally to the dramatic Battle of Midway which stopped the Japanese juggernaut in the Pacific. Creator Wayne Vansant, best known for his exacting detail on Marvel's long running popular series, The 'Nam, chronicles the participation of the Cahill family during these events as their lives are irrevocably changed forever as their world is plunged into war. "Heavy on authenticity, compellingly written and beautifully drawn." - Comics Buyers Guide. A Caliber Comics release.

Der "Faust" des Comic-Altmeisters Barry Windsor-Smith 35 Jahre der Entstehung. Die wohl am meisten erwartete Graphic Novel unserer Zeit: MONSTER. Eine 360-seitige Tour de Force des visuellen Erzählens. Teils Familiendrama, teils Thriller, teils metaphysische Reise – ein intimes Porträt von Individuen, die darum kämpfen, ihr Leben zurückzuerobern. Eine gewaltige politische Odyssee, die sich über zwei Generationen amerikanischer Geschichte erstreckt. Wir schreiben das Jahr 1964. Bailey ahnt nicht, dass er gerade im Begriff ist, sein tragisches Schicksal zu besiegeln, als er ein Rekrutierungsbüro der US-Armee betritt. Verschlossen, beschädigt, unschuldig – auf der Suche nach einer Vergangenheit und Zukunft zugleich. Kurzum: Bobby ist der perfekte Kandidat für ein geheimes Experiment der US-Regierung ... die entsetzliche, gottlose Fortsetzung eines Programms für Genetik, das fast 20 Jahre zuvor in den letzten Tagen des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Nazi-Deutschland seinen Anfang fand. Sergeant McFarland, Baileys einziger Verbündeter und Beschützer, greift ein, als eine Kette von Ereignissen in Gang gesetzt wird, die sich der Kontrolle aller Beteiligten entreißt. Während sich die Monster vermehren – ob real oder metaphorisch – münzt diese Geschichte in einem Crescendo der moralischen Abrechnung. Monsters trägt Barry Windsor-Smiths (CONAN DER BARBAR, RED SONJA) Handschrift tadelloser Feder- und Tuschetechnik. Die visuelle Erzählung ist mit ihrer Sensibilität für Gestik und Komposition das wohl anspruchsvollste Werk in der Karriere des Windsor-Smiths. Wir stoßen auf Passagen von herzzerreißender Zärtlichkeit, von unerträglichem Schmerz ... von Erlösung und Aufopferung ... von verheerender Gewalt – eine der wohl intensivsten Graphic Novels, die jemals gezeichnet wurden.

This volume of Campfire's graphic history of World War II deals with the war in Europe from the rise of the Nazis through to May 1945 and VE Day. World War II shows the effects of the war on the soldiers, the refugees, the victims and protagonists of the most terrible conflict the world has ever known. In a world that is forgetting the lessons history has to teach, this book is a reminder of the horrors that come from intolerance. In the 1930s, a great evil was rising in the heart of Europe, a threat unlike any seen before. German leader Adolf Hitler, a madman bent on world domination, was raising an army and growing more violent by the day. The world knew that Hitler had to be stopped. But fearing a war, this growing threat of Hitler's Nazi army was left unchecked. The world simply watched as Germany sank into darkness. The world merely prayed that war would not breach their borders. The world waited. And they waited too long. As cities fell to ruin and millions were slaughtered, the growing darkness of Hitler and his Nazi empire branched out far beyond Europe—to Asia and Africa and America—and soon threatened to claim the entire world. France, England, Russia, the United States… no single nation had the strength to combat this darkness, at least not on their own. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the one final, desperate hope was that all of these nations united together might muster the strength to save humanity.
