1st printing. Story and art by Joe Sacco. Launched on July 1, 1916, the Battle of the Somme has come to epitomize the madness of the First World War.

Printed on fine accordion-fold paper and packaged in a deluxe slipcase with a 16-page booklet, The Great War is a landmark in Sacco's illustrious career and allows us to see the War to End All Wars as we've never seen it before.

Spring 1974. The Publication of the Harvard University Comics Society. "Jack Kirby, Fritz Lang, and Balance" by Thomas A. Durwood - The eminent film director and 'the king of comics' are seen to gravitate forcefully to the same visual and thematic principle. "Comics' New Wave" by Micheal C. Young and Richard Foltin - Godard, Truffaut, and Charbrol ushered in film's nouvelle vague in the 1950's. Perhaps Smith, Kaluta, and Starlin are the vanguard of a new wave for comics. "Film and Comic Art: A Critique of the Purist View" by Armand Eisen - Purist theory holds that true films are silent, true graphic fiction proseless. An impressive rebuttal, drawing upon a firm conception of both pictorial forms. "Bypassing the Real for the Ideal" by Gil Kane - The distinguished artist gives a near-definitive overview of the virtues and limitations of the comics storytelling medium. Long experience, an eclectic body of accumulated knowledge, and highly articulated aesthetic sensibilities give the author a rare command of the field. "An American Mythology" by Charles Wooley - A thorough and scholarly examination of the recurrent topic of comics as myth, and what they tell us about our society. "Reality, Character and Comics" by Joseph Dunster-Whiting - The range of stances that narrative artists -- from Conan Doyle to Will Eisner -- take towards their characters and towards reality is surprisingly wide. Cover by Gil Kane.
