Description
World War I – that awful – gaping wound in the history of Europe – has long been an obsession of Jacques Tardi’s. It Was the War of the Trenches is Tardi’s defining – masterful statement on the subject – a graphic novel that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. Tardi is not interested in the national politics – the strategies – or the battles. Like Remarque – he focuses on the day to day of the grunts in the trenches – and – with icy – controlled fury and disgust – with sardonic yet deeply sympathetic narration – he brings that existence alive as no one has before or since. Yet he also delves deeply into the underlying causes of the war – the madness – the cynical political exploitation of patriotism. And in a final – heartbreaking coda – Tardi grimly itemizes the ghastly human cost of the war – and lays out the future 20th century conflicts – all of which seem to spring from this global burst of insanity. Trenches features some of Tardi’s most stunning artwork. Rendered in an inhabitually lush illustrative style – inspired both by abundant photographic documentation and classic American war comics – augmented by a sophisticated – gorgeous use of Craftint tones – Trenches is somehow simultaneously atypical and a perfect encapsulation of Tardi’s mature style. It is the indisputable centerpiece of Tardi’s oeuvre.
