Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the heir to R. Crumb and Art Spiegelman (Economist) comes a monumental, wordless depiction of the most infamous day of World War I.Launched on July 1, 1916, the Battle of the Somme has come to epitomize the madness of the First World War. Almost 20,000 British soldiers were killed and another 40,000 were wounded that first day, and there were more than one million casualties by the time the offensive halted. In The Great War, acclaimed cartoon journalist Joe Sacco depicts the events of that day in an extraordinary, 24foot long panorama: from General Douglas Haig and the massive artillery positions behind the trench lines to the legions of soldiers going over the top and getting cut down in nomansland, to the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers retreating and the dead being buried en masse. Printed on fine accordionfold paper and packaged in a deluxe slipcase with a 16page booklet, The Great War is a landmark in Saccos illustrious career and allows us to see the War to End All Wars as weve never seen it before. 24 plates
