 Garth Ennis Battlefields Night Witches #1 (2008) variant $6.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
by Garth Ennis & Russ Braun Late summer, 1942. As the German army smashes deep into Soviet Russia and the defenders of the Motherland retreat in disarray, a new bomber squadron arrives at a Russian forward airbase. Its crews will fly flimsy wooden biplanes on lethal night missions over the German lines, risking fiery death as they fling themselves against the invaders - but for these pilots, the consequences of capture will be even worse. For the pilots of the 599th Night Bomber Regiment are women! In the deadly skies of the Eastern Front, amidst the carnage of the Great Patriotic War, they will become a legend known, to friend and foe alike, as the Night Witches. Date Available: 10/29/2008 BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS  Hard and mean, meant for mature readers, this WWII tale shows the gritty fortitude of those who fought for Germany in the fields, and in the air for Russia. Garth Ennis does a superb job of allowing us to see two sides of the conflict: the Germans, who are trying to win control over Russia, and the Russians, who are forced through hardship to take different measures to ensure Germany doesn’t win. The dialogue is fast and hard, and the action brutal. And the story telling is first class. A true joy to read. I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
