Truth: Red, White & Black by Robert Morales
5.0
It's quite rare to see a Marvel superhero-based comic book with such a good bibliography. For a short one-shot story about black citizens of the U.S. and Germany from the "Great War" through WWII, Robert Morales covers a LOT of points from real history, making this book one of the most worthy examples of historical fiction in mainstream comics.
I usually don't like movies, books, or comics focused on wartime. I also don't usually notice subtle artistic nuances in comics as much as I pay attention to the writing. However, the illustrations portraying so many characters in this book were incredible. They give off consistent period-piece vibes (rendered in the styles of many cartoon strips from the '30s and '40s). The characters' faces are all distinct and interesting, and they express much emotion.
