U.47

Mark Jennison and Gerardo Balsa’s U.47 (2011–2020) is a 14-issue war series from Zéphyr Éditions, following the crew of a German U-boat during World War II. With Balsa’s gritty, detailed artwork grounding Jennison’s tense, character-driven scripts, the series explores the claustrophobic reality and moral complexity of submarine warfare. A standout in European war comics, it earned a dedicated following for its unflinching, human-scale portrayal of life beneath the waves.
