Omschrijving
“In The Great War, acclaimed cartoonist Joe Sacco depicts the events of the 1st day of the Somme in an extraordinary, 24-foot-long wordless panorama: from the riding exercises of General Douglas Haig to the massive artillery positions and marshalling areas behind the trench lines, to the legions of British soldiers going over the top and being cut down in No-Mans-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 is a landmark work in Sacco’s illustrious career, and makes visceral one of the bloodiest days in history, July 1, 1916
