WAR STORY:JOHANN'S TIGER (2001)
*Written by Garth Ennis; Art by Chris Weston and Gary Erskine./ The first of Garth Ennis' brutal WWII stories that tell it like it really was. JOHANN'S TIGER is the tale of a German Tiger tank commander and his crew. Retreating from the Russians on the Eastern Front, Johann's only goal is to find the Americans and surrender to them before he and his men get killed. But even if he can escape from the Red Army and the Nazi Secret Police, Johann can never elude his own guilt over the atrocities he's seen and committed.
WAR STORY:J FOR JENNY (2003)
*Written by Garth Ennis; Art by David Lloyd./ The second tale in the latest wave of WAR STORY one-shots shows the very human side of war, as the firebombing raids of late 1943 continue with relentless fervor. The Americans bomb by day and the British by night - up to a thousand bombers at a time hitting cities like Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin, razing them all to the ground. But no matter how tough you are as a part of a bombing crew, sooner or later you find yourself wondering who is underneath you when you drop the motherload...
WAR STORY:CONDORS (2003)
*1938 - before World War II engulfed Europe, all eyes were on the Spanish Civil War. It was a war of fascism versus socialism, dictator versus king, Germany versus Europe, and everyone was choosing sides. What happens when a Spaniard, a German, an Irishman, and an Englishman find themselves trapped in the same foxhole? Their story is told in WAR STORY: CONDORS, the third installment in a 4-part series of 64-page VERTIGO one-shots, written by Garth Ennis. Art by Carlos Ezquerra. CONDORS tells the tale of four very different soldiers who all want the same thing: to win their war. As battles rage outside of Madrid, the men - each with his own world view and reasons for fighting find themselves face-to-face with the enemy, as they all take cover in the same foxhole. With little water or food and just one pistol among them, they must figure out how to survive the night...and each other.
WAR STORY:ARCHANGEL (2003)
*Written by Garth Ennis; Art by Gary Erskine./ The final installment in Garth Ennis' latest epic look at World War II. When RAF Flight Officer Jamie McKenzie volunteered for training on the new CAMships, he didn't realize he was signing up to be the British equivalent of a kamikaze pilot! Is bad luck better than no luck at all?
WAR STORY:THE REIVERS (2003)
*Written by Garth Ennis; Art by Cam Kennedy./ A new batch of WAR STORY tales from Garth Ennis begins. THE REIVERS tells the story of an SAS (Special Forces) unit fighting Germans in the North African desert during World War II. A unit led by two young officers: Barclay, a by-the-numbers soldier who just wants the job done right, and Nixon, a reckless breakneck who seems to revel in the chaos of war. Their struggle for control of the unit ultimately determines the success or failure of their missions, and literally the life or death of the men in their charge.
