Dynamite Entertainment
After D-Day came the dreadful battle for Normandy, when largely untried Allied soldiers met the seasoned veterans of the German Army. As Panzer units and SS Troops turn the French countryside into a killing ground, a lone British tank crew struggles to rejoin their squadron. Lost behind enemy lines, their only hope lies in their fearsome commander, Corporal Stiles - but can even this wily old trooper overcome their arch-nemesis, Germany's lethal Tiger Tank? Armored titans clash in the most violent way imaginable, in this tale of blazing battle-action and black humor by Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra!
I picked this up for a war story obsessed friend for Xmas last year but grabbed a quick look at it first. It's pretty typical Ennis really. Here he's carrying on the stuff he did in 'War Stories' and basically it's 'Warlord', 'Hotspur', or 'Victor' but with the blood, carnage and swearing left in.
Tankies is the story of a lost tank crew trying to find their way to tiger lines whilst avoiding the attention of any German Tiger tanks. Alongside this we have the story of what's going on with the regiment they're hunting for in a story that's a lot less frivolous than the other.
It isn't as serious as the 'War Stories' books or indeed as one of the other volumes of this series that I read earlier in the year but it was good (not great), solid Ennis and that's never a bad thing.
