Sequential Sunday: Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths

by John Mueller· July 10, 2011· in Sequential Sunday· 0 comments tags: Drawn & Quarterly, Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths, Shigeru Mizuki
Any serious discussion of the best war comics of all time is sure to include the legendary Harvey Kurtzman-edited E.C. titles Frontline Combat and Two-Fisted Tales. The stories found in these anthologies focused on the brutal realities of war instead of flag-waving glamorization and would even view conflicts from the enemies’ point of view, putting a relatable face on the nameless soldiers on the other side of the field.

Pretty far-out to be sure, but how is the reader to react upon seeing the caped crusader as Raskolnikov, the down and out homicidal elitist in Dostoevsky’s towering classic of Russian literature Crime and Punishment? One way is to laugh out loud and that is exactly the way I reacted to that story and the many others in R. Sikoryak’s new book Masterpiece Comics.
