The epic and incredible telling of the early days of the United States during the Second World War. Days of Darkness covers the darkest days of World War II for the US, when the country went from the tragedy of Pearl Harbor to the triumph at Midway. Covering in detail is the attack of the US Naval base and the devastation of the fleet in Hawaii, then the action moves to the evacuation and fall of the Philippines to the horror of the Death March of Bataan, and finally to the dramatic Battle of Midway which stopped the Japanese juggernaut in the Pacific. Creator Wayne Vansant, best known for his exacting detail on the long running popular series, The 'Nam, chronicles the participation of the Cahill family during these events as their lives are irrevocably changed forever as their world is plunged into war. "Heavy on authenticity, compellingly written and beautifully drawn."- Comics Buyers Guide. "...conveying to today''s fans what life was like, both at war and at home during this turbulent era." - Comic Shop News. "Informative and historical, all wrapped up in an entertaining package of fact blended with fiction." - Joe Pruett, writer of X-Men and Domino. Collects issues 1-6.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born and raised near Atlanta, GA, and served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. I graduated from the Atlanta College of Art in 1975 and have had many jobs, including being a salesman, security guard, milk delivery man, and the Director of Security for a large art museum.

I began my writing and illustration career in 1986 with Marvel Comics' "Savage Tales" and "The 'Nam." Since then I have written and/or illustrated many books and comics on historical/military subjects such as Battle Group Peiper, Days of Darkness, Antietam: The Fiery Trial (commissioned by the National Park Service), Blockade: The Civil War at Sea, The War in Korea, The Hammer and the Anvil (profiling Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass), Normandy (profiling D-Day and the entire Normandy Campaign), Gettysburg (profiling the Battle of Gettysburg), and many others.

I am currently working on graphic histories of the Battle of the Bulge, Manfred von Richthofen, aka the Red Baron, and and am finishing up my Russian Front trilogy entitled Katusha: Girl Soldier of the Patriotic War, which is currently available as an eBook on Comics Plus, a leading comics book app.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good brief history of early part of the Pacific War
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2023

A good graphic novel description of Pearl Harbor, the fall of the Philippines and the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. The fictional characters are plausible and interesting, and there is a deal of interesting detail (notably, at least for me on Bataan, which I didn't know much about). Good artwork (though distant running figures look a bit questionable), with realistic looking vehicles and convincingly graphic on the effects of weapons on human beings. I'd have perhaps preferred a different setting for the civilian segments than rural Texas (maybe because I find rural Australian settings in Australian war fiction irritating, when most Australians came from cities/suburbs), but that's where the artist lives. The religious references feel odd to a European, but are probably right for 1940s USA, and maybe even contemporary USA.

Will definitely buy another of his books, probably the bomber offensive one.
