Arrowsmith by Kurt Busiek
Set in an alternate early-20th-century world where sorcery and myth reshape modern warfare, the story follows a young idealist who leaves home to join the conflict and is thrust into the brutal realities of magical combat. As he trains with mages and fights alongside pilots and soldiers, he learns harsh lessons about courage, loyalty, and the costs of victory, transforming from a naive volunteer into a haunted survivor. Blending aerial action, enchanted weaponry, and intimate human drama, the tale is both a coming-of-age and a meditation on the moral and emotional toll of war.
