From Mark Russell and PJ Holden comes a Harrowing World War II Story about Survival, Truth, and the Human Cost of War, Dog Tag
When gunfire stops, survival doesn’t. This spring, Mad Cave Studios debuts Dog Tag, a six-issue war series from writer Mark Russell and artist PJ Holden, with colors by JP Jordan and lettering by Buddy Beaudoin.
Inspired by real events from the final year of World War II, the series follows a soldier-journalist as the line between witnessing war and surviving it disappears. Dog Tag #1 features variant covers by Sebastián Piriz and Erica Henderson.
Dog Tag is a fictional story about a very real war. It follows the life and thoughts of Corporal Tom Fuller through the final year of World War II as his service takes him from the invasion of Normandy to the surrender of Japan. Borrowed from real-world stories and little-known events of the war, Dog Tag asks big questions about the war while focusing on the heroism of the ordinary people who lived and died during the conflict.
Dog Tag offers a grounded, emotionally resonant take on World War II—one that prioritizes humanity over the hero.
Dog Tag #1 hits comic shops on May 6, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off falling on April 13.
