Renowned commercial illustrator, designer and comicbook artist on Tomahawk, Aquaman and Teen Titans Nick Cardy, now in his 90s, has been drawing all his life. And thank goodness for that, as these recently unearthed sketches contribute not to to our pop culture history - as do his other works - but to our history Before beginning his career in comics, Nick was one of the young Americans shipped overseas to fight in World War II. He proceeded to do what he did best - carry a sketchbook and document his time in the conflict from beginning to end. From his basic training in the US, Cardy was deployed with the 3rd Armored 'Spearhead' Division, and fought through Europe (receiving two Purple Hearts on the way), ending up in Paris after VE Day. His sketches - in pencil, pen and watercolor - are extraordinarily vivid, and capture not only the humor and camaraderie, but also the horror of war. Nick Cardy: The Artist At War presents the entire contents of Cardy's wartime sketchbook, alongside his own commentary. It's a chronicle of one man's journey, but one that speaks for millions.… (altro)

Nick Cardy: The Artist at War is part art collection, part memoir. Some of you may be familiar with Cardy’s work at DC Comics, but this book shows that his talent extends beyond the realm of graphic novels. His artwork is nothing short of incredible, demonstrating Cardy's skill even under the most demanding of circumstances – a soldier at war. His ability to convey intricate details, even in a simple sketch, results in exceptional pieces that leave a lasting impression.
Cardy's illustrations capture the essence of war, from chaotic battle scenes to the quiet moments of reflection. It's a powerful and immersive journey through the eyes of an artist whose art breathes life into the experiences of the average soldier. The cover on this book could be a bit more appealing, but it gets the point across, and readers are left in no doubt as to what they’re getting into.
My final thoughts are that I enjoyed the poignant and emotive nature of the artwork within these pages. This book stands as a testament to Cardy's artistry and serves as a captivating journey through the lens of a skilled artist amidst the chaos of war, while the accompanying stories provide valuable context, enriching the overall experience. I probably won’t add this to my permanent collection, but whether you appreciate art, history, graphic novels, or all three, Nick Cardy: The Artist at War is worth perusing. ( )

You get so used to it that if there is any pause, you can just sleep or eat or breathe, and if you are tired, you don't feel the shelling nearby or feel the bumps if you are sleeping in a jeep. You get used to it. And that's what scared the hell out of me.
