In "The Bayonet Jungle," Private Jack Green finds himself thrust into the brutal jungle warfare of Burma during World War II, where his presence unsettles the seasoned British soldiers he’s joined. Written by Gordon Sowman and illustrated with stark, expressive detail by Hugo Pratt, this gripping wartime tale captures the tension and superstition that fester under the strain of combat. The cover, by Pino Dell'Orco, sets the mood with a stark, evocative image of conflict in the dense, unforgiving jungle.
