Ypres Memories (US) - Tapa dura

The official graphic novel for The Great War Centenary, Ypres Memories is made up of two stories that are connected by geography and the tragic events that took place almost one hundred years ago. An extension of the original Philippe Glogowski graphic novel, 'Ypres - Henry's Notebook', Ypres Memories offers an inside look into the plight of the Scottish Military who fought during World War I, with a story revolving around a trip to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and the memories that this triggers for a particular elderly veteran. Ypres Memories is for all ages and makes the real history of the war more accessible to the younger readers without glorifying war or violence.

Philippe Glogowski was born in Charleroi, Belgium in 1960. He graduated in 1982 from the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. During the 1990's Philippe published a number of short stories all of which he both drew and wrote, in Spirou magazine. Since then 16 titles have been gradually added to his personal bibliography. His primary inspiration comes from a study of history, but far be it from Philippe to limit himself entirely to one area of subject matter. His current 'works in progress' are set to show that he has a variety of strings to his bow.
