Dulce et decorum

A single-issue comic from 1985 published by Edition Quasimodo, Dulce et decorum is a standalone graphic meditation on the horror of war, its title drawn from Wilfred Owen’s famous poem. The work is most associated with its creator, who uses stark, expressionistic art to evoke the futility and trauma of conflict. Though brief in its run, this issue stands as a poignant, artistically ambitious artifact of its era, reflecting a European comics tradition of literary and political engagement.
