No one, from Stephen Ambrose to Steven Spielberg, can tell a better story than A Sailor’s Story.

• Max Brooks, author of World War Z What makes A Sailor’s Story most compelling is its modest grace. It’s not really a memoir of war, but of life aboard a floating town. Mr. Glanzman’s stories are like those you’d hear from a favourite uncle, true tales about average men who were most concerned about beer, women and gambling, not life, death and the enemy.
  
• The New York Times This flawlessly reproduced graphic novel will introduce a whole new generation of appreciative readers to one of the most talent artists and storytellers the Golden Age of comics ever produced. Very highly recommended.
  
• The Midwest Book Review Sam Glanzman is one of the great storytellers of 20th-century comics. - A. V. ClubGolden Age comic book legend Sam Glanzman draws upon his own World War II experiences in this outstanding graphic novel. Hailed by Eisner Award-winning Astro City author Kurt Busiek as
  one of the most honest, dedicated and engaging cartoonists in comics history,
  Glanzman wrote and illustrated this intimate account of his life aboard a Navy destroyer, the USS Stevens. As legendary X-Men scribe Chris Claremont noted, this
  isn’t a story of make-believe super-beings; these are real people, with real fears, being transformed by events and circumstances into men of courage.
