Product Description

This is 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. It features the stunningly detailed art of Raulo Caceres.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent History Lesson, 6 Oct 2007

By	DocBhoy (Invercargill , New Zealand) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Warren Ellis pulls out all the stops with this deluxe edition comic documenting the English invasion of France in Medieval times . You can tell from the writing that Ellis has put in a lot of time researching the material , and the storyline , whilst humourous at times , is essentially a way of detailing the exploits and life and times of an invading army in the fourteenth century .

Thoroughly enjoyable , but beware ! The language is X rated !

4.0 out of 5 stars Two fingers to History..., 20 Feb 2008

By	Richard Kelly (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is Warren Ellis's take on the Battle of Crecy, a major battle in the Hundred Years war between England and France. If you only know Warren from his Super Hero work then this will be a completely different beast for you, if you know his other works then it is more of the same.

We follow one of the English Peasents during the march to Cercy with he rest of the foot soldiers. The stock troop being the longbow man, and it takes us through the forced archery practice and the standards of life that the average member of the army would have faced at the time.

As with most of Warren's non mainsteam works it is lewd, disturbing, informative and in places crass. It is a warts and all showing of war, expect xenophobic language, expect blood, expect death, expect graphic violence, expect to learn!

The art work is stunning and black and white, which provides an interesting take on the subject material.

We came, we saw, we pillaged, we ravaged, we slaughtered, we left...the French have never forgiven us (and not without reason) and the survivors of Crecy introduced the two fingered salute to the world.

Buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Archers, 18 Jan 2008

By	Patrick Mullane (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To say how history really was, had been proposed by the historian von Ranke as a measure of the historian's craft. In this case Mr. Ellis definitely succeeds. His main character, an English bowman, who acts as a guide to the battle comes across as both crude and opinionated yet fiercely if parochially patriotic. He is presented in a way that acts as an insight to whys and ways of the period and focuses on the effectiveness of the typical English archer. The artwork itself is crisp and detailed and captures the action and squalor of a medieval campaign. Recommended.
