War Stories
Written by Garth Ennis. Art by Various artists.
Separate wartime episodes place ordinary choices under extreme pressure.
Overview
War Stories began with the 2001 one-shot Johann’s Tiger and grew into a sequence of distinct Second World War narratives. The opening story follows a German tank crew retreating through a collapsing front.
Why It Matters
A change of cast and setting in each installment keeps attention on specific people rather than a single heroic campaign.
Genre & Themes
Historical war drama with survival, command and moral compromise at its center.
Art & Visual Identity
The first story’s heavy vehicles and ravaged terrain are drawn with physical weight; later installments change artists to suit their settings.
