A Sailor's Story

Sam Glanzman’s A Sailor’s Story (2015–present, Dover Publications) is a single-issue, autobiographical graphic memoir drawn from his own WWII service in the U.S. Navy. Through Glanzman’s unadorned, firsthand art and writing, it offers a direct, personal look at life aboard a destroyer in the Pacific theater. This work stands as a poignant, historically grounded addition to the canon of war comics by a creator who lived the experience he depicts.
