The first two series, published by Vertigo, consisted of two four-issue mini-series. The two series were printed monthly, the first beginning in November 2001 and the second beginning in January 2003.
A third series, published by Avatar Press and comprising three issues, commenced in October 2014. A fourth series began publication in June 2015.
Each mini-series consisted of 3 or 4 stand-alone issues. Most of the stories were set during World War II. One exception was set during the Spanish Civil War and another in the Middle-East in 1973. Each deals with the horror of war experienced by those on the Front line.
In the final days of World War Two the commander of a Tiger tank tries to save his men by convincing them to desert so they may surrender to the Americans before they are killed fighting the Soviets.

Dead state I can feel the weight
Light streaming in through an open grate
Two thread score tearing up the floor
Out in the alley with the trigger draw
Numb hands I can see the strand
Hold it together with a severed ban
Three lost years I've been crying here
I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken
Strung out with wings of the dawn
Hole in the black, soul in the storm
Torn down through the cracks in the dark
We're miles adrift, we're inches apart
I'm hit, I can feel the grit
Sat in the asher on the beaten brick
Two thread main running through the vein
Out in the centre with a mirrored cane
Numb feet I can hear you speak
Hold it together with a severed streak
Three full years I've been crying here
I'm over, I'm over, I'm over, I'm broken
CHORUS:
Strung out with wings of the dawn
Hole in the black, soul in the storm
Torn down through the cracks in the dark
We're miles adrift, we're inches apart
Stood up on the side of the Earth
Thrown back to the track to the dirt
Two thread lose an hour a day
We're miles adrift, we're inches away
CHORUS
We're miles adrift, we're inches away
We're miles adrift, we're inches away
We're miles adrift, we're inches away
We're miles adrift, we're inches away
Hold it together with a severed bank
Can't feel the blood
