Attu

A stark, single-issue war comic published by 4Winds Publishing Group in 1989, Attu is a standalone story set during the World War II battle for the Aleutian island of the same name. The book is most closely associated with writer/artist Sam Glanzman, whose gritty, unglamorous style brought a visceral, human-scale perspective to this often-overlooked Pacific campaign. It stands as a powerful, condensed work of historical fiction from a creator known for his authentic, personal approach to war comics.
