War Stories #1
In "Johann's Tiger," Garth Ennis and Dave Gibbons deliver a gritty, character-driven war tale set amid the chaos of WWII, where Sergeant Brewer and the remnants of Easy Company stumble upon a secluded chateau—only to find more than just a safe haven. What begins as a routine mission to secure a command post quickly turns into a tense pause for rest, with stolen Nazi treasure and a hidden wine cellar offering a rare, fleeting escape from the front lines. The story unfolds with Ennis’s signature realism, brought to life by Gibbons’s sharp, evocative art and Rambo’s atmospheric colors, all framed by a striking cover by Dave Gibbons.
