In that the realistic setting –places and battles –used for plotting fictional narrative gives a believable quality and the pace of action has the ability to grip the reader’s attention. The overall thrust of the stories emphasize the human element – regardless of rank or the battle sides and focuses on the individuals caught in situations not of their making. Despite some jingoism and stereotyping the war comic is an important graphic text that can be used in the display on war-related materials.
