Publisher's Synopsis

Blazing Combat is the controversial comic book from the Vietnam War era. Its legend and influence have only grown throughout the years - and have far outlasted the people who tried to suppress it. Enshrined in the annals of comics history as a hard-hitting series produced by some of the top talents of the 20th century, it was excoriated for daring to present a politically incorrect point of view at a time before the anti-war movement had gained any traction. The stories in Blazing Combat are among the best comics stories about war ever published.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
