Panthers in the hole

A taut, single-issue historical graphic novel from French publisher La Boîte à Bulles, Panthers in the Hole (2014–present) dramatizes a little-known chapter of World War II through the true story of the African American 761st Tank Battalion. Created by a team that brings both visual grit and archival research to the page, the book spotlights the courage and sacrifice of these "Black Panthers" as they fought against Nazi forces while facing segregation at home. Its compressed, powerful narrative underscores how comics can recover overlooked military history.
