Comics, text, and photos combine to tell the story behind Robert Capa's iconic photograph of the D-Day invasion in this gripping nonfiction graphic novel hybrid.
Born in Reims, France, Jean-David Morvan has become a noted French comics writer known for his thoughtful and surprising takes on a variety of topics.
S�verine Tr�fou�l is a French comics writer who has experimented with three-dimensional comic strips and who has coauthored several graphic novels with Morvan.
Dominique Bertail, of Tours, France, takes his influences as a cartoonist from around the world, including Moebius, Juillard, and Otomo.
Robert Capa was a Hungarian war photographer and photojournalist who covered five wars during his career, most famously documenting the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach, and the liberation of Paris. In 1947 Capa co-founded the Magnum Photos agency.
"Since Capa's work is the prototype for all subsequent battlefront visual reporting, placing the viewer in the midst of military action, mostly before, around, and after combat but also, of course, harrowingly under fire, it's high praise of Bertail that his black, white, and gray art, drawn with both pen and brush, ideally complements Capa's photojournalism." --Booklist
