Notes: In his career as a war comic writer, Chapman wrote two types of stories - agonizingly
brutal examinations of the horrors of war (mostly earlier stories) and mindnumbingly
gung-ho adventure tales (mostly later work). This one is halfway between, a gung-ho
story about Combat Kelly, where the American hero 'realisticly' calls his red opponants
monkeys and other nonflattering names. - Ger Apeldoorn. |

Notes: One of Chapman's brutal examinations of war. In his best stories, Chapman used innovative
comic book techniques, such as using real headlines of clever essaylike examinations of a
subject. Here,the whol story is told from the point of view of an enemy sniper gun. Every
panel is circular and diveded in four pieces by the crosshaires of the gun. The panels are
placed on a black blackground. The sniper kills three soldiers, before he is found out and
shot himself - a hole appearing in the 'glass' of his visor. - Ger Apeldoorn. |
