High Command #[nn]

This striking 1981 Dragon's Dream volume promises the stories of two towering WWII figures — Sir Winston Churchill and General Montgomery — whose determined portrait faces dominate the vivid red cover. Below them, Frank Bellamy's artwork fills three panels with the thunder of the conflict: RAF fighter planes banking through aerial combat, German armored vehicles and infantry amid smoke and flame, and tanks clashing across a desert battlefield that evokes Montgomery's North African campaigns. It's a handsomely presented package that lets Bellamy's dynamic linework carry the full weight of history.
