Vastly different sequentially (eschewing \u003cem\u003eTrenches\u003c\/em\u003e' splintered narrative, \u003cem\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/em\u003e is split into six chronological chapters, one for each year of the war), graphically (Tardi deploys his more recent pen-ink-and-watercolor technique, with the bold colors of the early chapters fading into a grimy near-monochrome in the later ones as the war drags on), and narratively (all of \u003cem\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/em\u003e is told, with insight, dark wit and despair, as a first-person reminiscence\/narration by an unnamed soldier), \u003cem\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/em\u003e shares with \u003cem\u003eTrenches\u003c\/em\u003e its sustained sense of outrage, pitch-black gallows humor, and impeccably scrupulous historical exactitude. In fact, \u003cem\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/em\u003e includes an extensive year-by-year historical text section written by Tardi's frequent World War I research helpmate, the historian and collector Jean-Pierre Verney, including dozens of stunning rare photographs and visual documents from his personal collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10.6 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Will Eisner Comic Industry Award (2014)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405506064633,"sku":"9781606995822","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/miMMiJ52ih9781606995822.webp?v=1778842524","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/goddamn-this-war-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
