Battlefields
Written by Garth Ennis. Art by Russ Braun, Peter Snejbjerg, Carlos Ezquerra.
Short campaigns reveal different corners of the Second World War.
Overview
Ennis launched Battlefields in 2008 with Night Witches, illustrated by Russ Braun, about Soviet women flying nighttime bombing missions. Later arcs shift theaters, units and artists rather than sustaining one cast.
Why It Matters
The anthology structure makes room for experiences often missing from a single grand war narrative.
Genre & Themes
Historical military adventure, survival and the politics of wartime service.
Art & Visual Identity
Braun’s first arc grounds aerial danger in equipment and terrain; later artists give each campaign its own visual texture.
