Warfighter

A Graphic Exploration Of Resilience, Performance And Augmentation In War. 
 
Laurence Alison, writer of the excellent Hedrek, teams up with David Hitchcock again, plus Warwick Fraser Coombe, Steven Austin, Paul McCaffrey, and Luke Michael Copsey for a Kickstarter investigating the history of Saint George across three different tales that explore the complex origins and stories surrounding the myth of St George.
 
This is a patron saint that doesn’t, however much some on the far right would have you believe, belong just to the English. As Alison mentions:
“He is claimed by Armenia, Germany, Lithuania, Portugal, Malta, Antoci, Gena, and many others. He is identified with the Islamic hero Al Khidr. There is merit in the notion he was born in Turkey and others claim he was Palestinian or of Nubian ancestry… As such George isn’t the exclusive ownership of the English and the warrior Saint has many complex and multifarious facets. His sacrifice, torture and heroism is at the forefront of all these versions though and a deeper, more layered even pre Christian more pagan set of attributes also reside within the legend connected to the Green Man, mummer plays and ancient folklore that touches upon concepts such a nature, life and rebirth.”
