NEW YORK — The term “war comics” makes sense from a shorthand perspective; it’s a succinct way to describe this genre, but can be a tad misleading to outsiders. Far from glorifying war, war comics mostly tell unflinching and gritty stories of the cost of war, particularly the human cost. Some may have been borne out of patriotism and some out of anti-war sentiment but their common denominators are a keen attention to detail and realism, amazing art, and inventive storytelling.
