White Death
Charlie Adlard, Rob Morrison
For four years, The Great War, World War One, raged across the planet. Millions were sent to their deaths in pointless battles. The Italian Front stretched along the borders of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empires, in treacherous mountain regions.
In the last months of 1916, a private in the Italian Bersaglieri returns to his childhood home in the Trentino mountain range to find it no longer a place of adventure and wonder as it was in his youth, but a place of death and despair. Amongst the weapons of both armies, none is more feared than the White Death: thundering avalanches deliberately caused by cannon fire… which, like war itself, consume everything in their path…
Overheard:
"Morrison weaves a complex, powerful tale here, based on historical fact. He sees war as a terrible 'waste of life, and the corruption of youth and innocence.' He creates believable, understandable characters, and we watch them fall, live, die, laugh and harden. Adlard's artwork takes a fine arts approach, and the results are fantastic. His drawings are emotional and powerful, personal and inspired."
