EC Shellshock #1 Cover Preview

 

Cover A By Lee Bermejo

 

For the soldiers who fought in the trenches of World War I, they called it Shellshock. A century later, it goes by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. But whether you call it Shellshock, PTSD, or Combat Stress Reaction, it's just a label. And no label can compare to how war marks soldiers. Sometimes for a few years. Sometimes, for life. 

EC's new Shellshock anthology begins in the charnel house of Afghanistan. Where will it transport readers next? And how will it explore the battles veterans face everyday as they resume civilian life? 

Here's all the info from Oni Press:
