Sgt. Mike Battle is a fictional British small press comics action hero published by Pier-C Comics who currently appears in the bi-annual anthology title ''Sgt Mike Battle: The Greatest American Hero!'' Created by Graham Pearce in 2000, Battle first appeared in ''Sgt. Mike Battle: Nazi Stomper!'', a 6-page comic strip that inaccurately retells World War II in 6 pages starting at D-Day and ending with Adolf Hitler's death in Berlin. Initially inspired by Hollywood's obsession with rewriting history in films like ''U-571'', Pearce continued this theme with several sequel strips. The first five strips were collected into ''Sgt Mike Battle: The Greatest American Hero! #1'' in August 2001. Since then he has continued to write, draw, letter and publish many more adventures of Sgt Mike Battle and recently released ''SMB:GAH #11'' in May 2008. == Fictional publication history == Within Pier-C's world, the character of Sgt Mike Battle has appeared in his own monthly title by fictional publisher Patriot Comics since 1916. Originally he was one of several characters that featured in ''Patriot Comics Monthly Adventure Western Sci-Fi Crime Romance Horror Comedy Fantasy''. When the United States joined World War I, the publishers decided to take advantage of current affairs and feature Mike Battle in the WWI story ''Sgt. Mike Battle: Boche Stomper! #16''. From that point on, Battle became the star of the book and although the book's "... Stomper" suffix is constantly being changed, it has continued with its numbering to the present day. Over the years Battle has fought many real-life adversaries such as the Nazis, the Soviet Union, the Viet Cong, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. Amongst his fictional nemesis are Kaptain Soviet, Kommander Deutschland, The Iron Skull, Fritz Kreig, Klash Nikof, PANDA, Grit Liefline and the Axis of Evil. With the War on Terror, Battle has recently captured Saddam Hussein and continues to pursue Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda and the Axis of Evil. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sgt Mike Battle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
