This essential tome includes three stories of battle written by Ennis and illustrated by Thomas Aria including: Castles in the Sky: A horrifying tale of early bomber pilots and their incredibly difficult missions during wartime. Thrust into the sky with a new team of soldiers these brave men learn quickly the horrors of aerial combat over the skies of Germany. With art by Matt Martin and Keith Burns. Children of Israel: In 1973, the Golan Heights was the home to the most brutal tank warfare in history.

Worse still, the strange figures who appear from the deep woods are far from being knights in shining armour- and in these dark times, the price of salvation may just be too much to bear. With art by Tomas Aira. Softcover, 224 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.
