Crazy stories about war and everything that goes with it. I liked Ivan Brandon's story best, especially Nic Klein's incomparably good art. Highly recommended.

It took me a while to get into the story, but luckily Nic Klein's fabulous art made me want to read on. It's worth it! The story develops beautifully and I have the feeling that the drawings get even better as it goes on, but maybe it just seems that way to me.
Highly recommended!
