Davide Abbatescianni Comicbook writer Garth Ennis, best known for series such as “Preacher” and “The Boys,” and his nine-year stint at Marvel, is a guest of this week’s Lucca Comics & Games. Ennis, whose current work includes comedy Barbarian strip “Babs,” and the latest instalments of the “Battle Action” and “Punisher” series, spoke about his new book “Partisan,” as well as diverse topics including religion and war. “[In ‘Partisan’], Steve [Epting] and I explored a similar territory to that of ‘Sara.’ It’s about a woman who finds herself caught in the fighting between Russian partisans and the German invaders in Ukraine from 1942 onwards,” Ennis said.
“Our heroine, with her husband having been called up by the army, finds herself raising two kids alone. Caught in this conflict, she joins the partisans for no other reason than keeping her kids alive. She finds herself doing the most extreme things, purely in the interest of her family.
That’s probably the project I’m most interested in right now.” At the start of the Lucca event, Ennis – who was born in Northern Ireland but is now a U.S. citizen – took part in a conversation about U.S.-set stories. He revealed that his view of the U.S.
only radically changed when he moved there permanently. However, for him narrating the country is still all about “seeing it as a place where people do go to try to make their dreams come true,” while “being aware of its various social inequalities.” “And yet, I never get used to the notion that I might be living in a movie. In New York, there are some incredibly cinematic moments, locations and characters.” War was the core theme of another Lucca talk.
