Highly recommended.-- \"Library Journal\" Publisher Marketing : In the third and final volume of Stalag IIB , René Tardi has come home. But after five agonizing years as a prisoner of war, he is a changed man. Like millions of other French soldiers, René struggles to adjust to civilian life and imagine his postwar future. Upon re-enlisting in the army he despises, René receives new orders: return to Germany and help rebuild the country that imprisoned him. There, the story shifts from father to son, as young Jacques must bear the strange burden of growing up in the land of his father's enemy. A solitary child, he takes refuge in drawing, kickstarting a lifelong passion for cartooning. This volume brings to a close a fitting tribute to the artist's father and the lost generation of French POWs -- the triumphant culmination of Jacques Tardi as a master of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020-11-17\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47201995620578,"sku":"9781683963660","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781683963660.jpg?v=1765435055"},{"product_id":"9781683961796","title":"I, Rene Tardi, Prisoner of War in Stalag Iib Vol. 2: My Return Home","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart II of a Magnum Opus from one of the greatest contemporary cartoonists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stalag IIB presents a grim, lumpy, black-and-white world (with extremely rare bolts of color, such as a blood-red Nazi flag) through which characters grump, slog, and die. ...

Thus begins the long, grueling journey eastward, where Tardi and his fellow POWs must evade the pursuing Russian Army, stave off their gnawing hunger, and contend with the increasingly vicious German soldiers accompanying them. Throughout this harrowing odyssey, the only thing that keeps him going is the hope that he'll one day return home to France, where his wife Henriette patiently awaits him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019-03-19\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202697019618,"sku":"9781683961796","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781683961796.jpg?v=1765457651"},{"product_id":"9781683961086","title":"I, Rene Tardi, Prisoner of War in Stalag Iib Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first volume of a true war trilogy by one of the greatest contemporary cartoonists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stalag IIB presents a grim, lumpy, black-and-white world (with extremely rare bolts of color, such as a blood-red Nazi flag) through which characters grump, slog, and die. ...

Highly recommended.-- \"Library Journal\" Publisher Marketing : Captured by the Germans and sent to a POW camp where he spends the rest of the war, René Tardi lives a harrowing day-to-day existence. He recalls in vivid detail roll calls in sub-zero temperatures, senseless executions--and especially the gnawing hunger. And yet, in the face of daily brutality, he perseveres, thinking of his wife Henriette, awaiting his return home to France. Both an homage to his father and a testament to the silent suffering of a generation of men scarred by war, Jacques Tardi's Stalag IIB is a personal and artistic triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202888351970,"sku":"9781683961086","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781683961086.jpg?v=1765465568"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/collections\/9781683961086.jpg?v=1788000433","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/collections\/series-i-rene-tardi-prisoner-of-war-in-stalag-iib.oembed","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
