Adventures in the Rifle Brigade

From 2004 onward, DC published Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra's Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, a single-issue war-comedy one-shot that parodies both classic war comics and the absurdity of military heroism. It follows a ragtag squad of British soldiers on a ludicrous, behind-enemy-lines mission during World War II, blending Ennis's trademark profane humor with Ezquerra's gritty, kinetic art. Though brief, this issue stands as a sharp, affectionate send-up of the genre, showcasing the explosive creative chemistry that made the duo's longer Preacher and Hitman runs legendary.
