A vibrant and evocative graphic novel exploring the events of the pivotal Normandy Landings from the perspective of the soldiers on the ground.
6 June, 1944: a vast armada stands off the coast of Normandy; in the pre-dawn gloom gliders carrying British airborne troops approach their target. The first shots are about to be fired in 'the Great Crusade' to free Europe from Nazi occupation and thousands of troops will fight their way ashore in the teeth of deadly machine-gun and artillery fire from the German defenders. D-Day is about to begin.
The Normandy landings are brought alive in this electrifying graphic novel that tells the story of that Longest Day through the eyes of the men who were there. Discover an epic struggle as the Allies sought to overwhelm the German defenders by land, sea and air, who in turn battled desperately to drive the invasion back into the sea.
Covering the full range of events from the earliest airborne assault through the struggle on the beaches and the desperate effort to establish a bridgehead inland, D-Day blends an authentic historical narrative with master illustration to reveal the full story of the day that changed the course of World War II.

À propos de l’auteur
Raised on and living around military bases while fed a steady diet of B-movies, science fiction, and comic books, Erik Hendrix has become a mad-scientist creator and world-builder through his writing. His curiosity for history was sparked at a young age by his father, a retired Marine and Vietnam Vet, whose passion for genealogy extends back decades. Erik's study of history continued into college, when he took countless extra courses 'for fun', leading into his professional writing career, which include co-writing the graphic novel D-Day: Storming Fortress Europefor Osprey Publishing.
Esteve Polls started working in comics in 1965 at 15 with a soccer-themed title for a Scottish publisher, and never stopped working. In recent years, his work has included El Zorro and The Lone Ranger for Dynamic Forces.
Gordon L. Rottman entered the US Army in 1967, volunteered for Special Forces and completed training as a weapons specialist. He served in the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam in 1969-70 and subsequently in airborne infantry, long-range patrol and intelligence assignments before retiring after 26 years. He was a Special Operations Forces scenario writer at the Joint Readiness Training Center for 12 years and is now a freelance writer, living in Texas.
