World War I has long been an obsession of Jacques Tardi's. (His very first (rejected) comics story dealt with the subject, as does his most recent work, the two-volume Putain de Guerre.) But It Was the War of the Trenches is Tardi's defining, masterful statement on the subject. Tardi is not interested in the national politics, the strategies, or the battles: he focuses on the day to day of the grunts in the trenches, and, with icy, controlled fury and disgust, with sardonic yet deeply sympathetic narration, he brings that existence alive as no one has before or since. Yet he also delves deeply into the underlying causes of the war, the madness, the cynical political exploitation of patriotism. And in a final, heartbreaking coda, Tardi grimly itemizes the ghastly human cost of the war, and lays out the future 20th century conflicts, all of which seem to spring from this global burst of insanity. Trenches features some of Tardi's most stunning artwork. Rendered in a lush illustrative style, inspired both by abundant photographic documentation and classic American war comics, augmented by a sophisticated, gorgeous use of Craftint tones, Trenches is somehow simultaneously atypical for the artist and a perfect encapsulation of Tardi's mature style. It is the indisputable centerpiece of Tardi's oeuvre.

Too tight.
Size: Small-X-Large, Color: Black
I have an average sized woman’s head, maybe a tad smaller. I’m 5’2” and weigh 135… the hat quality was nice but too tight on my head. I was wanting something not real snug, kinda floppy.

Might seem pricey, totally worth it.
Size: One Size, Color: Classic Grey
Was a little more than I wanted to spend, but hey, it's cashmere. Super light but sturdy. Stiching seemed a little off and had a couple of funny points but I gave it a few wearings and they smoothed out just fine. I was looking for a tight fitting beanie for my bald head, hat size 7 1/4, with a bunch of loose fitting at the top like one of the seven dwarves and this one is form fitting. Perfect for my bald brothers and sisters out there. Compared to almost an exact beanie I have in Marino wool, this is lighter, softer,and warmer. Excellent buy.

The hungry mini schnauzer
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I bought this hat for my husband, twice. He loved the hat, and the dog did too. My dog Lola, ate the hat twice. With these cold, snowy New England days and nights, this hat was so warm, soft and felt great on his head, it was perfect until Lola decided if anyone would have it, it would be her! Is there any way you could possibly replace this hat??
