THE LUCKY ONES: A WW2 COMBAT ENGINEERS STORY the full color 200 page graphic novel will appeal to readers of hidden histories particular to WW2, such as Leibestrasse by Greg Lockard or the unexpected allies of Stephanie Phillips’ We Only Kill Each Other.
Bill has carried a secret since the day he saw them kiss, there are gay men in the unit. The members of the Squad agree to keep Joe and Tony sheltered from the homophobia, but it means none of them are safe. In WW2 harboring these gay men would be the ruin of every one of those soldiers; losing their benefits, their medals, and risking prison walls. It made Bill more than Ally, he was now an Accomplice. When the newly assigned homophobic lieutenant exacerbates the threats there is a breaking point among the men. Fifty years later Bill is still fighting that war in his nightmares. Bill’s grandson is set on dragging him to his old unit's 50th Anniversary Reunion. The prospect heightens Bill’s postwar anxiety, and his dreams become memories of who and what he’s lost.
