Joe Sacco presents an illustrated account of first day of the World War I conflict, the Battle of the Somme. The author recounts the battle, in which close to 20,000 British soldiers were killed and approximately 40,000 wounded, as one, twenty-four foot-long panorama. The black and white drawing encompasses all of July 1, 1916, in Northern France, as British forces prepared and went to war against Germany.
