War Story: Condor

Wow. The last couple of WAR STORYs didn't really connect for me but this blew me away. Ennis's simple story of four characters and their different views on the Spanish Civil, coupled with Carlos Ezquerra's gritty artwork is simply excellent.

Just thought I'd put out a recommendation for anyone who might have decided to pass over it this week. Any other opinions ?

Sometimes Ennis's position on the stories he's telling is difficult to ascertain, but this CONDORS story indicates that he's aware of the moral quagmires that war brings up.

Even his position on Irish Republicanism (Ireland is his birthplace IIRC) seems mixed.

I especially liked the jab at Thatcherism on the last page.
