review:
'Dreaming Eagles' by Garth Ennis and a host of talented artists is a graphic novel telling a fictionalized account of the Tuskegee Airmen.

When his son Lee comes home from a Martin Luther King Jr. rally with a black eye, his father Reggie decides it's time to tell him about his own fight. Reggie was a fighter with the famous Red Tails in WWII. It was a struggle because of his color to be taken seriously or get support, but through determination, Reggie and the Tuskegee Airmen fought so valiantly that bomber crews requested them as escorts. From the accolades on the battlefield to the harsh realities of prejudice back home, Reggie relates his story.

Garth Ennis tells this kind of story better than any modern writer. Although it is fictionalized, the story rings true with facts. The story is moving and stirring. The art is amazing. The colors are fantastic and I loved the series covers by Francesco Francavilla.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from AfterShock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
