"...nothing can prepare you for what awaits—or who you will become—when you finally reach the front line. Here, there can be no peace—only SHELLSHOCK..."
As an exclusive for Daily Dead readers, we have preview pages from Michael W. Conrad & Albert Monteys' "Christmas, 1914":
From the Press Release: "Meet mankind’s greatest enemy of all—himself—as commanding writers Julio Anta (This Land Is Our Land: A Blue Beetle Story), John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Benito Cereno (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve), and Michael W. Conrad (Double Walker) lead a joint campaign alongside artistic bombardiers Tom Fowler (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel), and Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves) that will always bring enemy and ally, private and general, to the same reward in the end: a flag-draped casket and glory posthumously conferred.
Plus: This 56-page testament to fortitude also features another all-time EC classic, painstakingly remastered and restored!
'Take a journey into the deepest depths of the heart of darkness, as SHELLSHOCK showcases the most skin-crawling monster of all— humankind’s capacity for war and bloodshed,' says Senior Editor Allyson Gronowitz.
