War Stories is a collection of short stories by Garth Ennis, published by Vertigo Comics. The stories are set in various war-torn environments, from World War I to the present day. Ennis is known for his unflinching and often brutal portrayal of war, and War Stories is no exception. The stories are filled with violence, gore, and profanity, but they are also incredibly well-written and thought-provoking.
The stories in War Stories are not for the faint of heart. They are graphic and disturbing, but they are also incredibly powerful. Ennis does not shy away from the horrors of war, and he forces the reader to confront the realities of conflict. The stories are not about glory or heroism, but about the raw brutality and senselessness of war.

Ennis's writing is often compared to that of war correspondent Michael Herr, and for good reason. Both writers have a deep understanding of the horrors of war, and they are able to convey that understanding to the reader in a viscerally powerful way. War Stories is a must-read for anyone interested in the realities of war, or for anyone who wants to experience some of the best writing in the comics medium.
