Blazing Foxholes

Art Wetherell's Blazing Foxholes, a three-issue series from Fantagraphics that began in 1994, offers a gritty, personal look at wartime experience through the eyes of a solitary soldier. Wetherell, who both writes and draws the entire run, brings a raw, unflinching intimacy to the foxhole perspective, making it a distinctive entry in war comics. Its brief, focused length gives the series a concentrated power, capturing a single, harrowing moment in conflict without the sprawl of a longer narrative.
