U-47

Set during World War II, U-47 (2018–present, Dark Dragon Books) follows the crew of a German U-boat, centering on the real-life exploits of the submarine and its commander. Written primarily by Mark Jennison and Ben Kamphuis with art by Gerardo Balsa, this 14-issue series offers a gritty, historically grounded look at naval warfare from the perspective of the Kriegsmarine. Its focus on the moral complexities and claustrophobic tension of submarine combat distinguishes it from more typical superhero fare, making it a notable entry for readers interested in war comics.
