AUSA Announces Medal of Honor: William Carney

American soldiers have always displayed heroism on the battlefield. But only a select few are recognized with the nation’s highest military decoration: the Medal of Honor.

The Association of the United States Army celebrates their valor with the Medal of Honor graphic novel series. These full-color digital books are created by a talented team of professionals drawn from the comic book industry, and the details are vetted by professional historians. Each eight-page issue profiles a true American hero, bringing to life the daring deeds that distinguished themselves by gallantry in action “above and beyond the call of duty.”

The series started in October 2018 with the release of Medal of Honor: Alvin York to commemorate the centennial of York’s heroic actions in World War I. To date, 24 issues have been published, commemorating such heroes as Audie Murphy, Mary Walker, Daniel Inouye, Henry Johnson, and Roy Benavidez.

AUSA is producing four new issues in 2025, along with a paperback collection for the fall:

Medal of Honor: William Carney – for the soldier in the 54^th Massachusetts who saved the flag at Fort Wagner

Medal of Honor: Clint Romesha – to celebrate the soldier who rallied his comrades to keep Combat Outpost Keating out of Taliban hands

Medal of Honor: Van Barfoot – to recognize the WWII soldier who advanced through a minefield to take out enemy machine gun positions and a tank

Medal of Honor: Emil Kapaun – for the chaplain in the Korean War known for his courage as much as his spiritual guidance

Information and links to all of the graphic novels are available on AUSA’s Medal of Honor series page at www.ausa.org/moh.
