Hugo Pratt WWII Storie di Guerra #[nn]
This volume collects Hugo Pratt's war stories set during World War II, featuring the author's signature blend of historical adventure and introspective character studies. The collection brings together tales originally published in the 1970s and 1980s, showcasing Pratt's distinctive ink work and his nuanced perspective on conflict, far from the heroic clichés of traditional war comics.
In the steamy jungles of Burma, Private Jack Green is thrust into a British platoon already hardened by war, where his presence quickly becomes a source of unease. As the fighting rages and the terrain turns deadly, the soldiers begin to whisper that Jack is cursed—his very presence seeming to draw disaster.
In the final days of WWII, Polish resistance fighters conceal a captured German V2 rocket deep in the countryside. Battler Britton is sent on a high-stakes mission to fly a scientist into occupied Poland to examine the weapon, navigating treacherous skies and a war-torn landscape where every flight could be his last.
In the stifling jungles of Burma during World War II, Lieutenant Robert Salter leads his exhausted British patrol through the dense wilderness, pushing forward despite the toll. When they suddenly emerge into a clearing, the soldiers find themselves facing an ancient temple, its stones worn by time and shadow.
