Historien om den ukendte soldat

Jacques Tardi’s stark, unflinching vision of World War I, Historien om den ukendte soldat (1983–present, Carlsen), is a single-issue Danish-language graphic novel that distills the futility and horror of trench warfare into a haunting, personal narrative. Tardi, both writer and artist, collaborates with Søren Vinterberg on this adaptation, using his signature ligne claire style to render the soldier’s experience with brutal clarity. A cornerstone of European war comics, it stands as a powerful, anti-war statement from one of the medium’s most revered storytellers.
