Sepron the Sea Serpent by Adam Blade

Sepron the Sea Serpent by Adam Blade

Renowned commercial illustrator, designer and comicbook artist on Tomahawk, Aquaman and Teen Titans Nick Cardy, now in his 90s, has been drawing all his life. And thank goodness for that, as these recently unearthed sketches contribute not to to our pop culture history - as do his other works - but to our history

Before beginning his career in comics, Nick was one of the young Americans shipped overseas to fight in World War I. He proceeded to do what he did best - carry a sketchbook and document his time in the conflict from beginning to end. From his basic training in the US, Cardy was deployed with the 3rd Armored 'Spearhead' Division, and fought through Europe (receiving two Purple Hearts on the way), ending up in Paris after VE Day. His sketches - in pencil, pen and watercolor - are extraordinarily vivid, and capture not only the humor and camaraderie, but also the horror of war.

Nick Cardy: The Artist At War presents the entire contents of Cardy's wartime sketchbook, alongside his own commentary. It's a chronicle of one man's journey, but one that speaks for millions.

Adam Blade was born in Kent, England, in his late twenties. Adam's parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and he grew up surrounded by his father's paintings of past English wars, which influenced his imagination for the rest of his life. The ancient sword and shield that hung in his father's office also piqued his interest. These were a Blade family heirloom, according to Adam's father. Adam, unfortunately, does not have an Ice Dragon or a Ghost Panther of his own. But he sincerely hopes he could!
