GRUNTS Comin’ at ya!
Jan 6th
Woo-hoo. The GRUNTS: WAR STORIES trade paperback is coming from Arcana this April. It’s a collection of short stories based on Shannon Eric Denton & Keith Giffen’s squad of resourceful U.S. Amry guys who encounter strange things on the World War II battlefield.
I’m psyched because I’ve got a short story contained within. Mine is a straight-ahead tale of three of the grunts taking on a platoon of Nazis to recover a stolen document.
You’ve also got stories from great comic writers like Marc Bernardin, Adam Freeman, Kevin Grevioux, Dwight MacPherson and Christopher E. Long to name a few.
The tireless Matt “More Red Bull” Jacobs drew the whole thing.
It’s 9 new stories plus pinups and extras.
Be sure to ask your retailer about it and give them Diamond ordering code JAN10 0720
Here’s the official description and cover:
ISBN: 978-1-897548-23-3
Created by Shannon Eric Denton & Keith Giffen. Illustrated by Matt Jacobs(Prototype)During World War Two, an American squad encounters a superhuman German unit and starts a Eugenics Race that carries into present day.

Long (Wetworks), Dwight Macpherson (Archibald Saves Christmas), Howard Wong (After The Cape), Marc Bernardin/Adam Freeman (The Authority), Mike Bullock (The Phantom), Jimmie Robinson (Bomb Queen), Rob M.
