Dead Reckoning announces three new graphic novels in
Fall 2020.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera
In
the history of civilizations, sea power has always played a
preponderant role. This symbol of a nation’s scientific and military
genius has very
often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the
names of several clashes down into legend. With this collection,
Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge you into the heart of
three of the twentieth century’s greatest naval battles:
Tsushima, Jutland, and Midway.
“This
is an immersive tour of war at sea in the twentieth century that brings
readers alongside sailors and pilots in the battles that shaped the
modern world. Delitte and Baiguera are masters of the form, crafting
elaborate comics art to recreate time and place in ways that will
transport, teach, and thrill you.”
—Jeff Parker (James Bond: Origin,
X-men First Class,
The Hulk and Batman ’66)

Atlas at War!
collects fifty hard-hitting stories from Atlas Comics, the company that
became Marvel Comics and published more war titles than anyone in the
industry between 1951 and 1960. Comics historian Dr. Michael J. Vassallo
has chosen the best of the best, many of
which are coming back into print for the first time, from sixteen
different Atlas war titles and featuring the artwork of twenty different
artists—giants of the genre, including Russ Heath, John Severin, Bernie
Krigstein, Joe Maneely, Jerry Robinson, Steve
Ditko, and Jack Kirby. Each page has been meticulously restored from
its first printing by comic art restorer Allan Harvey.
Atlas at War!
covers the brutal pre-code period where graphic depictions
of war action were rendered by artists who were World War II veterans
themselves, as well as the post-code period, where code restrictions
forced creators to tell stories without graphic violence but produced
some of the most beautiful comic art of the genre.
In addition to the artists, stories cover all aspects of war—from
famous campaigns, weaponry, and personal soldier stories to political
topics, Nazi atrocities, and even one story tinged with pre-code horror!
Often overlooked in favor of its competitors,
Atlas at War! will finally show that Atlas’ war titles were second to no one.
“Michael
Vassallo knows more than anybody in the Marvel Universe about the rich
history of the company's comics. His grasp and insights are astonishing!
Make mine Michael's!” —Craig Yoe, curator of
Don Winslow of the Navy and
Marvel Masterwork Pin-Ups
“Atlas at War!
is a treasure trove of lost war classics.”
—PJ Holden, artist for

Written by Salva Rubio; Drawn by Pedro J. Colombo; Colored by Aintzane Landa
This
is a dramatic retelling of true events in the life of Francisco Boix, a
Spanish press photographer and communist who fled to France at the
beginning
of World War II. But there, he found himself handed over by the French
to the Nazis, who sent him to the notorious Mauthausen concentration
camp, where he spent the war among thousands of other Spaniards and
other prisoners. More than half of them would lose
their lives there. Through an odd turn of events, Boix finds himself
the confidant of an SS officer who is documenting prisoner deaths at the
camp. Boix realizes that he has a chance to prove Nazi war crimes by
stealing the negatives of these perverse photos—but
only at the risk of his own life, that of a young Spanish boy he has
sworn to protect, and, indeed, that of every prisoner in the camp.
Now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix.
