War Stories #1
This new edition of War Stories Volume 1 collects the first story arc of Garth Ennis and various artists' gritty anthology series for Avatar Press. Focusing on the brutal realities of 20th-century warfare, the volume presents standalone tales that strip away patriotic gloss to reveal the chaos and human cost of conflict. This edition updates the original collection with new presentation and packaging from Avatar.
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.
