Putain de guerre!

In the late 2000s, French publisher Casterman released Putain de guerre!, a six-issue series that offers a visceral, unflinching look at the horrors of World War I through the eyes of ordinary soldiers. Written and illustrated by Jacques Tardi, the series is a stark, meticulously researched account of trench warfare, told with his signature black-and-white linework and a deep sense of historical gravitas. It remains a powerful, essential work in the European bande dessinée tradition, standing as a monument to the futility and tragedy of the Great War.
