Book - "The Silent Day" by Max Arthur.
An oral history of D-Day on the Home Front.
Comics - "The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire, vol. 1" written by Mike Butterworth, art by Don Lawrence.
Originally published in the magazines "Ranger" and "Look and Learn" during the late 60s and early 70s, it's the story of a sort of Greco Roman Empire IN SPACE. The text can be a bit on the simplistic side, but who cares, Don Lawrence's artwork is beautiful.
Also dipping out of "Lucky Luke" written by Albert Goscinny, art by Maurice De Bevere AKA "Morris".
The series is an affectionate parody of the whole Western genre, and takes place in the American Old West. It stars the titular Lucky Luke, a gunslinger known as the "man who shoots faster than his shadow", and his intelligent horse Jolly Jumper. Lucky Luke is pitted against various villains, either fictional or inspired by American history or folklore.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.
