0/5 ( ratings)

THE SERIES:
The Desert Peach is a comic book created by Donna Barr, chronicling the adventures of the eponymous protagonist, Erwin “The Desert Fox” Rommel’s fictitious homosexual younger brother, Oberst Manfred Pfirsich Marie Rommel , nicknamed the “Desert Peach”. Early issues of the comic focused on the Peach’s command of a misfit unit of the Afrika Korps from 1940 to 1943; subsequent issues have explored the pre- and post-war lives of Pfirsich and his supporting cast. The Desert Peach was first published in 1989, by MU Press/AEON, and later by A Fine Line. 32 issues were released throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and subsequently re-released in eight collected volumes; as well, a Desert Peach musical was produced in 1992, and "Bread and Swans", a Desert Peach novel, was released in 2005. With the exception of the musical, all Desert Peach material has been created entirely by Barr.

CRITICS AND PROFESSIONALS HAVE SAID ABOUT "THE DESERT PEACH":
"The Desert Peach is one of the most enjoyable comics to come down the pike in recent years. The stories, like the Peach himself, are tempered with a sense of humanity...The Peach is a great character, not simply because of his dashing good looks and politeness, but also because he is a fully dimensional, well-rounded character. The stories are funny and touching."
--MIKE KAZALEH, INKER, REN AND STIMPY

"This is one of the few comics I eagerly look forward to. There's so much going on, I can read 'em over and over and still get something new from 'em. On this little stage set in North Africa around 1940 are played out some of the most intricately-crafted comedy-dramas this medium has to offer."
--ROBERTA GREGORY, ARTISTIC LICENTIOUSNESS, WINGING IT, and NAUGHTY BITS

"Thanks for your excellent work; I think you are among the best in comics today."
--MICHAEL VANCE, SUSPENDED ANIMATION

"This book is heart-warmingly individual, funny, irreverent and quite simply brilliant in its concept and execution. I can't praise it enough for its constant breaking-down of stereotypes."
--PAUL BIRCH, COMICS INTERNATIONAL

"The woman could draw on a shovel with a rock."
--CHUCK MELVILLE, MU PRESS/AEON
