It's not really a memoir of war, but of life aboard a floating town. Mr. Glanzman's stories are like those you'd hear from a favorite uncle, true tales about average men who were most concerned about beer, women and gambling, not life, death and the enemy. -- <i>The New York Times<br></i>This flawlessly reproduced graphic novel will introduce a whole new generation of appreciative readers to one of the most talent artists and storytellers the Golden Age of comics ever produced. Very highly recommended. -- <i>The Midwest Book Review<br></i>Sam Glanzman is one of the great storytellers of 20th-century comics.<i></i>-- <i>A. V.
