War Story: Screaming Eagles

Garth Ennis and Dave Gibbons teamed up for this single-issue DC comic from 2002, a standalone installment in the War Story series. It follows a squad of American paratroopers—the 101st Airborne's "Screaming Eagles"—during a harrowing mission in World War II. Ennis's unflinching, character-driven script pairs with Gibbons's clean, grounded art to capture the grim camaraderie and brutal reality of frontline combat. This issue stands as a compact, visceral snapshot of war from two of the medium's most respected storytellers.
