SynopsisTake to the skies over Europe during World War I as ace fighter plane pilots engage in battle with primitive machines that are held together with canvas, wire, wood, and metal. These adventurers, who were drawn to the conflict, came from as far afield as India, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, would fight to defend their homeland, fight for nationalistic pride, and fight for personal glory. Based on historical facts and well researched, each individual pilot's story is thrillingly told in this volume series that serves both as an astonishing read and a fitting tribute to courage, audacity and sacrifice; capturing the kinetic mayhem of the dogfight while briskly illuminating life on the ground on and off the base. Each story becoming much more than the number of victories scored, as vital as that might have been to the final outcome of the war. VOLUME TWO features the true exploits of Italy's Francesco Baracca, France's René Fonck, and Belgium's Willy Coppens. "Chris's gorgeous art is complimented by great scripting that captures the danger of air warfare perfectly, and pulls no punches when many of the pilots make their final sortie....International Aces is, quite simply, one of the best produced independent war comics I have ever seen." - John Freeman, Downthetubes "Chris Geary has meticulously researched these stories as well as the visual aspects of the relevant magnificent men and their flying machines, so there is an element of historical documentary to the work. But humanity sings from each tale too, with moments of pathos as frequent as the dramatic air battles and, indeed, moments of humor." - Jenny Robins, Broken Frontier "Historically accountable, International Aces is full of pieces from World War 1 that have been cleverly spliced into the scripting...(The Series) holds insight that would intrigue novelists, history enthusiasts and aspiring learners alike. I found myself researching into the featured Aces long after I had finished the graphic novel." - Callum Baker, A Place to Hang your Hat
Illustrated byGeary, Chris, Karidis, Antonis
