The Devil's Brigade

Will Franz and Sam Glanzman teamed up for this short, two-issue series from Avalon Communications, which launched in 2000. Based on the real World War II special forces unit, the story focuses on the gritty, behind-the-lines exploits of the First Special Service Force. Glanzman, a veteran of the war, brought an authentic, unglamorous visual grit to the proceedings, making this a notable, small-press tribute to a legendary combat unit.
