Fever Ridge: A Tale of MacArthur's Jungle War #1

This volume collects the first half of Mike Ploog's graphic novel series, a gritty and personal look at the Pacific theater of World War II through the eyes of a young Marine fighting in the New Guinea campaign under General Douglas MacArthur. Ploog, a legendary artist known for his work on horror and fantasy comics, both writes and illustrates this war epic, focusing on the brutal jungle combat and the psychological toll on the soldiers. Fever Ridge stands as a distinctive, creator-driven war story that blends historical detail with a visceral, hand-painted art style.
