Warren Ellis' Crecy
It's not very often that you get a graphic novel about a battle from the middle ages but this is one and I recommend you check it out. There is a bit of an attempt to draw a paralell with Iraq but don't let that put you off. The bumph reads
An original graphic novel from Warren Ellis and his Apparat line of books! A highly trained but under equipped army invades another country due to that country's perceived threat to home security. The army conducts shock-and-awe raids designed to terrify the populace. This army is soon driven to ground, and vastly outnumbered. The English army has to stand and fight, in Crecy, France. On 26 August 1346, modern warfare changed forever. This is the story of England's greatest battle. Featuring the stunningly detailed art of Raulo Caceres.
