Dana Lombardy on “Bloody Omaha: The Big Red One at D-Day”
2024 saw the 80th anniversary of the decisive World War Two battle in Western Europe: the massive Allied invasion at Normandy, France, called D-Day. Dana worked with acclaimed military artist Keith Rocco to publish a comic and hardcover book based upon the two huge wall murals Rocco created for the First Division Museum. Dana will present the backstory of the murals, the books, and will show his latest solitaire and 2-player board game to be released this summer: Bloody Omaha: The Big Red One at D-Day.
