About the series
In 2003, Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco transported readers to an alternate World War I where magic and mythical creatures are as real as machine guns. This six-issue DC miniseries follows young American Fletcher Arrowsmith as he joins the Royal Flying Corps, only to find himself piloting a dragon across battlefields enchanted with sorcery and political intrigue. With Pacheco’s sweeping, heroic art and Busiek’s grounded character work, Arrowsmith reimagines a familiar historical conflict through a fantastical lens, making it a standout wartime fantasy from the early 2000s.
