The extraordinary life of Scott Camil in graphic biography form, from hardened marine to anti-war activist.

Through the unflinching personal journey of a hardened marine turned dogged anti-war activist, Winter Warrior reveals the brutal reality of the Vietnam war and the bleak political reality on the domestic front. Cartoonist Eve Gilbert renders Scott Camil’s story with empathy, nuance, and a dash of humor, her impressionistic imagery a perfect complement to his blunt words. As the American military continues to wage war throughout the globe, Camil’s anti-authoritarian attitude and fearless whistleblowing is as vital today as it was then. 

About the Author

Born in 1967, Eve Gilbert is a cartoonist, illustrator and painter. Before finding a publisher for her work, she attended poetry readings in San Francisco coffee houses and read from xerox copies of her comics, which she sold on the streets. Episodes of her life from homelessness to working dead-end jobs are chronicled in Tits, Ass & Real Estate. In his introduction to that work, R. Crumb wrote, “Eve Gilbert must be an incredibly tough survivor as well as being sweet and nice. Her life would’ve killed me.” Her most recent book is Winter Warrior (Fantagraphics, 2019). She lives in Florida with her husband and her plants.
