Sinossi
"L'ultimo giorno in Vietnam" nasce dalle esperienze di Will Eisner come soldato, durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, e poi come corrispondente in Vietnam e in Corea per «P.S. Magazine», una rivista dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 2000, il volume è una delle ultime prove di Eisner, a testimoniare come l'esperienza della guerra abbia richiesto all'autore un lungo lavoro di sedimentazione prima di poter essere raccontata. Un ufficiale coinvolto in un attacco il giorno prima del congedo, un reporter che scopre nel modo peggiore la morte del figlio in combattimento, gli istinti omicidi che si risvegliano in una sentinella annoiata, le fatali conseguenze delle discriminazioni subite da un soldato omosessuale... Sei storie vere sottoposte al filtro della memoria e della precisione narrativa raggiunta da un implacabile indagatore dell'animo umano.

World War 2 was Will Eisner’s war though his association with the military would last for decades. He turned instructional manuals into comics to make them easier to read for army personnel, and his work took him to new theatres of war like Korea and Vietnam in the 1950s and 60s. In one of his last Leggi tutto
Novela gráfica formada por cinco historias ambientadas en las guerras de Corea y Vietnam. Son historias cortas, sencillas, sin abalorios ni viñetas abarrotadas, pero que muestra como un buen autor puede contar mucho con muy poco: cuatro palabras, apenas más viñetas, y ya hemos calado el trasfondo de Leggi tutto
A set of short stories about war from Eisner, showing us--as he routinely did in his work--the future of comics through true, honest stories about real people. In the intro, Eisner writes about his military experience, both as a soldier in WWII and during his many years as a journalist creating a ma Leggi tutto
Hey, it is Will Eisner book, how could one go wrong?!?!
Not Eisner's best work, I don't see him playing with the form of comics as much as he did in any of his previous books. Still, this book was an interesting take on the Vietnam War principally because it was told through an Eisner narrative structure. The reader gets several small stories told from d Leggi tutto
