text: Another late Vertigo entry I had overlooked, this World War II graphic novel tells the story of the 182 members of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division who were dropped way off-course on D-Day. They found themselves 15 miles behind enemy lines in the small village of Graignes, France. The French villagers were fully aware of the danger of German reprisals if they helped the Americans, but they did so willingly.
