{"product_id":"goddamn-this-war-tardi-9781606995822","title":"Goddamn This War!","description":"Created 15 years after the completion of his Eisner Award-winning World War I masterwork \u003cem\u003eIt Was the War of the Trenches\u003c\/em\u003e, Tardi's \u003cem\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/em\u003e is no mere sequel or extension, but a brand new, wholly individual graphic novel that serves as a companion piece to \u003cem\u003eTrenches\u003c\/em\u003e but can be read entirely on its own. Vastly different sequentially (eschewing \u003cem\u003eTrenches\u003c\/em\u003e' splintered narrative, \u003cem\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/em\u003e is split into six chronological chapters, one for each year of the war), graphically (Tardi deploys his more recent pen-ink-and-watercolor technique, with the bold colors of the early chapters fading into a grimy near-monochrome in the later ones as the war drags on), and narratively (all of \u003cem\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/em\u003e is told, with insight, dark wit and despair, as a first-person reminiscence\/narration by an unnamed soldier), \u003cem\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/em\u003e shares with \u003cem\u003eTrenches\u003c\/em\u003e its sustained sense of outrage, pitch-black gallows humor, and impeccably scrupulous historical exactitude. In fact, \u003cem\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/em\u003e includes an extensive year-by-year historical text section written by Tardi's frequent World War I research helpmate, the historian and collector Jean-Pierre Verney, including dozens of stunning rare photographs and visual documents from his personal collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606995820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606995822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 7.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Eisner Comic Industry Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2013","brand":"Tardi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799268110591,"sku":"9781606995822","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goddamn-this-war-tardi-9781606995822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
