Graphic Content (Vertigo’s Official Blog) has an interesting article about “The Unknown Soldier” writer Joshua Dysart and his trip to Uganda before starting the book.

But still… He was going to a war zone. And I was his editor. Logically speaking, it did kind of fall to me to say, “Hey, is this really a good idea?” I mean, yes, I was committed to the book, but Josh had become a friend, and he was going to a war zone. And you don’t want to be known as the editor who gets his writers killed in war zones. It’s kinda the unwritten rule of comics editing.

Of course, we know how the story ends. Joshua Dysart spent a month-long research trip in Uganda to write UNKNOWN SOLDIER, a comic which no less than PREACHER scribe Garth Ennis described as a “book that really matters.” In about two weeks, the first trade hits, and in that honor, I thought I’d include Alberto Ponticelli’s never before seen early concept sketches here.
