Comic Books & Graphic Novels 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
THE JEWISH BRIGADE
THE LIONS OF LENINGRAD
THE STRETCHER BEARERS
“An exciting, moving, and thoughtful historical graphic novel.” — Foreword Reviews In the waning years of World War II, as the tragic plight of the Jews was coming to light in ever more horrific detail, a Jewish fighting force, known as the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group, was born as part of the British Eighth Army. Leslie Toliver eagerly joined for a chance to fight with his people against those who sought to murder them.
“Captures a critical time during World War II with dramatic flair.” — Foreword Reviews When the German army begins its invasion of Soviet Russia, four children are evacuated to the countryside: Maxim, the son of a senior Communist Party official, Pyotr, the son of writers, Anka, the daughter of a concert violinist, and Grigory, the son of a pilot executed for insubordination.
“This is a solid historical war narrative – and an intense and moving portrayal of brotherhood.” — Publishers Weekly In the Great War, Maxwell Fox was assigned to a unit of stretcher bearers, tasked with running into harm's way to rescue his fallen brethren. This story is the unforgettable journey of a young man trying to save the lives of wounded soldiers, and keep the men he’d formed a bond with alive.

Like all night bomber units, they will risk fiery death – but unlike the rest, these pilots and navigators are women. In the lethal skies of the Eastern front they will become legend: The Night Witches.
