Swillie And Joeby Bill Mauldin2 Books, 8.5 X 10.5, Hc, 600 Pages, Pcnew Value Price $45.00Isbn 9781560978381Here, For The First Time, Fantagraphics Books Brings Together Mauldin'S Complete Works From 1940 Through The End Of The War. This Collection Of Over 600 Cartoons, Most Never Before Reprinted, Is More Than The Record Of A Great Artist: It Is An Essential Chronicle Of America'S Citizensoldiers From Peace Through War To Victory. Bill Mauldin Knew War Because He Was In It. He Had Created His Characters, Willie And Joe, At Age 18, Before Pearl Harbor, While Training With The 45Th Infantry Division And Cartooning Parttime For The Camp Newspaper. His Brilliant Sendups Of Officers Were Pure Infantry, And The Men Loved It. After Wading Ashore With His Division On The First Of Its Four Beach Invasions In July 1943, Mauldin And His Men Changed And Mauldin'S Cartoons Changed Accordingly. Months Of Miserable Weather, Bad Food, And Tedium Interrupted By The Terror Of Intense Bombing And Artillery Fire Took Its Toll. By The Year'S End, Virtually Every Man In Mauldin'S Original Rifle Company Was Killed, Wounded, Or Captured. The Wrinkles In Willie And Joe'S Uniforms Deepened, The Bristle On Their Faces Grew, And The Eyes Too Old For Those Young Bodies, As Mauldin Put It Betrayed A Weariness That Would Remain The Entire War. With Their Heavy Brush Lines, Detailed Battlescapes, And Pidgin Of Army Slang And Slum Dialect, Mauldin'S Cartoons And Captions Recreated On Paper The Fully Realized World Of The American Combat Soldier. Their Dark, Often Insubordinate Humor Sparked Controversy Among Army Brass And Incensed General George S. Patton, Jr.
