Comics creator Ethan Young will write and draw a graphic novel entitled Nanjing: The Burning City. The story for this book is set during the tragic Rape of Nanjing event that took place during World War II.
Young devoted many hours of research to this project. Dark Horse Comics has scheduled a publication date for August 2015.
Here’s more from the press release: “Exploring the horrors of the Nanjing Massacre of 1937, Nanjing: The Burning City focuses on two abandoned Chinese soldiers trapped in the city as they desperately attempt to escape. Outnumbered by the invading Imperial Japanese Army, they’ll encounter the horrors and terrifying effects of war—but they’ll soon learn that no enemy can destroy the spirit of resistance and bravery.”
