Finally collected by IT'S ALIVE! and co-published with Dark Horse,
The Lonely War of Capt. Willy Schultz was originally serialized in the
comic book Fightin' Army in the 1960s.
An American solider of German heritage finds himself on the wrong side
of World War II in this sweeping epic. This war story is, at its heart,
an anti-war story and a story about universal human nature in the
hellhole of war. Also includes a new final chapter drawn by Wayne
Vansant and a new historical essay by Stephen R. Bissette about the
series.
This series was written by a sixteen-year-old Will Franz and illustrated
by the already-seasoned comic book creator and WWII veteran Sam
Glanzman. The entire story arc, collected here and finally finished, is
one of the most dramatic, moving, and controversial comic book stories
ever told!
