Nick Cardy: The Artist at War

Praise

“This art would be beautiful even if it weren’t created under such difficult circumstances; and as assembled, it does tell a story.” – AV Club

“An amazing hardcover that faithfully reproduces all the sketches that Cardy did throughout his time in World War II.” “A lavishly-produced art book.” “I love that someone took the time to do a book like this in the first place. It’d be a great read even if you weren’t a fan of Nick Cardy’s work at all, but if you are, then this will immediately become one of your favorite Cardy books of all time. Seriously. I can’t recommend it enough.” “I hope it sells through the roof and starts a trend. I’d love it if this was the first of many volumes about the greats of comics and what their actual lives were about. These guys have great stories to tell, and we should get them told.” – Comic Book Resources

“a moving collection of sketches, watercolors, photos and the voice of a powerful artist.
