Marines

Edizioni Bianconi's Marines (1977–1978) is a brief, 11-issue Italian war comic that follows a squad of U.S. Marines through gritty combat scenarios. Published during the tail end of the Italian fumetti boom, the series is most associated with the work of writer and artist Renzo Calegari, whose detailed, dynamic art brought a visceral energy to the battlefield. Though short-lived, it stands as a focused, unglamorous snapshot of the war genre in Italian comics, offering a no-frills tribute to the soldiers it depicts.
