NEW from ComicsLit
Steve OLEXA & David AXE
NOW IN PAPERBACK! War can be addictive. So testifies journalist David Axe who's been there, in the middle of the action in Iraq. The high is potent no matter how much you know how dangerous it is... Here’s Axe’s journal of dealing with his addiction, the high, the sheer excitement of being in there, in the battle, the cost to his life, never mind the threat. A new form of visceral self-analyzing comics journalism starts with this book... An allegory for the US?
6x9, 96pp., B&W, $9.95, ISBN 1-56163-464-6
here's what the press has to say about War Fix:
"Olexa's shadowed black-and-white art completes and extends Axe's narrative perfectly. Essential as background on war and the conflict in Iraq." -
Library Journal
"NBM has once again published a quality thoughtful work, and they need to be congratulated for their continued efforts."
-
SilverBulletComics.com
"Succeeds brilliantly." -
Columbia Journalism Review
"The book is like a mix of Anthony Swofford's Jarhead and Francisco de Goya's "The Disasters of War." -
Utne.com
"Axe’s lucid self awareness is part of what makes this book so compelling. Axe recognizes his own disconnect between the reality of war and his own romantic notion of it, and does not try to justify his actions or present himself as a sympathetic hero. War Fix is a book I definitely recommend, and would even go so far as to call it outstanding, but I’m not sure I actually liked it. Grade: 4.5/5"
