A propos du livre

Revue de presse

ONE OF POPMATTERS' BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS OF 2014

ONE OF BLEEDING COOL'S TOP 11 GRAPHIC NOVELS OF 2014

'This anthology you have in your hands is an important one because comics are one of the few media voices the establishment has yet to muzzle... I found these stories heartfelt, passionate, clever, controversial, thought-provoking, original and often crying out for sequels.' -- - Pat Mills, writer of Charley's War

'This fascinating, wide-ranging anthology challenges any revisionist glorifying of heroic sacrifice.' -- - Paul Gravett, The Independent

To End All Wars is not just worthy (some of the proceeds from each book go to Médecins Sans Frontières), but enjoyable and illuminating too.' - --James Smart, The Guardian

'This wealth of voices is also a great strength: To End All Wars is not just worthy (some of the proceeds from each book go to Médecins Sans Frontières), but enjoyable and illuminating too.' - --The Guardian

'This stark, chiaroscuro, thick compilation begins to redress this deficit. It promotes a humanitarian view of the worldwide conflict as witnessed by not only famous and everyday men and women, but also by a diligent elephant, hounds, purported angels, and an Alpine cat.' - Best Books of 2014 as chosen by Pop Matters

'A remarkably well-chosen and commissioned set of pieces that complement each other without repetition, without any story you want to skip. Quite, quite remarkable.' - --Bleeding Cool

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Graphic Anthology of The First World War With an Introduction by Pat Mills

An omnibus of 27 short graphic narratives based on actual events, characters, circumstances, incidents, myths or consequences of the Great War WWI. £1will be donated to Medecin Sans Frontieres from every book sold.

Featuring the four theatres of war (land, sea, air and the home front), spanning four continents and drawn from both sides of the conflict, the stories range from 4 to 16 pages, each by a different author and/or illustrator from the world of independent comics.

Designed as a tribute to those who sacrificed all in the insanity of a preventable war, our stories explore the weird, wonderful, chilling and little known aspects of a conflict largely ignored by the comics' medium. Showcasing exciting new writers and artists working alongside established names.

Examples: The Final Confession of Madame MacLoed by Susan Wallis(The few days of Mata Hari's life), The Stainless Steel Elephant by Russell Wall and James Guy (The true story of an Indian elephant that was used during the war) and Go Home and Sit Still by Selina Lock (Doctor Elise Inglis and the Scottish women that helped her set up the first female-only run hospital unit during any war).
