Violent But True Bedtime Stories: Maj. Pierre J. Ortiz, USMC is an action-packed graphic novel that tells the extraordinary life story of one of America's most fearless WWII heroes. Pierre Ortiz was a man who lived life on his own terms-fluent in ten languages, equally comfortable in glamorous European cafes or gritty battlefields. From his early days in the French Foreign Legion, where he earned countless promotions and accolades, to his daring missions as a Marine and an OSS operative, Ortiz's journey is one of bravery, resilience, and sheer grit.
This graphic novel takes readers through Ortiz's incredible escapades across North Africa, the French countryside, and Nazi-occupied territories. From sabotaging German supply lines to orchestrating a remarkable escape from a POW camp, his legend only grew with every daring move. Even Hollywood called for Ortiz, but the blitzkrieg of war brought him back to the frontlines where he belonged. With vivid, dynamic illustrations that bring every page to life, this volume immerses readers in a high-stakes world of espionage, heroism, and war.
Ortiz's unmatched courage earned him two Navy Crosses, a Legion of Merit, multiple Croix de Guerre, and Purple Hearts-solidifying his legacy as an American icon. This book is perfect for fans of military history, graphic novels, and larger-than-life war stories. Violent But True Bedtime Stories celebrates Ortiz as a symbol of grit, mischief, and heroism, inspiring generations with his devil-may-care attitude and fearless leadership.
