25th Division on Luzon

William de Jarnette Rutherfoord

Oversized cloth-covered hardcover with pasted on frontispiece

 

Fantastic early documentary graphic novel about the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines in WWII. The art may not be polished, but it presents a hard-hitting first person account of the action.

 

It's not sensational - almost matter of fact, which makes it more gripping.

 

Can't think of an earlier documentary graphic novel. This one is really historic...

This one's not in the book -- I don't have Crosby's other WW1 book to know if it's in there. The absence of a copyright line and the rank in the signature make me wonder if he didn't do it for someone as a Christmas present. Dubb is the same character from "That Rookie..." though.
