Klappentext zu „The Great War “
AN ILLUSTRATED PANORAMA WITH AN ESSAY BY ADAM HOCHSCHILDThe first day of the Battle of the Somme has come to epitomise the Great War. This monumental panorama captures the unimaginable horrors of that fateful day.
On 1st July 1916, almost 20,000 British soldiers were killed and another 40,000 were wounded during the first day of The Somme. In The Great War, acclaimed cartoonist Joe Sacco depicts the events of that day in an extraordinary, 24-foot-long wordless panorama: from British soldiers going 'over the top' and being cut down in No-Man's-Land, to the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers retreating and the dead being buried en masse.
Printed on fine accordion-fold paper and packaged in a deluxe hardcover slipcase with a 16-page accompanying booklet, The Great War makes visceral one of the bloodiest days in history.
'This is incredible. It is fantastic. He's showing you far more than a film or photographs could. It's just drawing ? it's a superb example of what art can do.' David Hockney, Sunday Times
'Sacco's work [is] the best argument around for comics as a journalistic medium' GQ

Rezension zu „The Great War “
"A mini-masterpiece." Independent on Sunday "His silence first mirrors and then amplifies our own horrified stupefaction - and his inky crosshatching speaks for itself, sorrow and rage in every dogged line." -- Rachel Cooke Observer "Insanely beautiful. This is yet another total masterpiece from one of the most important comic artists of all time" -- Stuart Hammond Dazed and Confused
