Reviews

"There are a lot of superb interpretations and renderings throughout the book ... It's almost like reading poetry." — History with Mark Bielski

“The burgeoning audience of graphic novel fans, especially the historically literate ones, will certainly be impressed by this book…. The author’s and publisher’s intentions could not be more honorable…. [We are] happy to recommend Trench Dogs.” — Historical Naval Society

"[Trench Dogs is] very cinematic in a way where one scene flows into the next…. It kind of feels like a tracking shot and the concept is really great…. Not something I can think of being done in comics before." — Graphic Policy (YouTube)

“[T]here is wisdom in this book in its depiction of human suffering, selfishness, selflessness and survival. [...] Death is the great equalizer and, when people encounter it, we can learn a lot from that. Ian Densford has masterfully managed to encapsulate that fact into a comic book.” — Comics Workbook

“Trench Dogs by Ian Densford is an ambitious graphic novel…. The art is detailed and impressive…. It’s beautiful to look at…. This is an impressive attempt to do something different in the comics medium and in so many ways it succeeds.” — Graphic Policy
