Osprey Graphic History #1

A gripping entry in Osprey's Graphic History line, this 2007 volume brings the chaos of Pearl Harbor to life through the comics medium. The cover — pencilled and inked by Gary Erskine — thrusts readers right into the heart of the attack, with a determined U.S. sailor in the foreground, a Japanese warplane bearing its distinctive roundel streaking overhead, and towering warships engulfed in fireballs behind him. Writer Steve White's adaptation of one of history's most pivotal days promises the same rigorous attention to detail that Osprey's war histories are known for, now told in vivid sequential art.
