    Not a very realistic cover and the story was not much better,,, it seems DC
     war liked to do these "raft" covers quite regular and in the OOAW series one of their raft covers is the most cartoonish and worst cover of the entire GA/SA run
    OOAW #30 - worst cover of all imo

    photo still from the movie does look totally authentic except that no cameraman would likely be there in real life.....
    what do you think of the 1917 Champagne photo ?

    The photograph is from a movie as i suspected and may have known at one time but forgot... although i cannot find the exact scene when scanning through the movie
     
    MIDWEST PREMIERE
    To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Armistice, Léon Poirier recreates the Battle of Verdun with soldiers who took part in it. An epic film, with a true emotional strength with no “real” characters but symbolic figures instead: the French soldier, the German soldier, the mother, the young girl, the intellectual… This pacifist feature was restored in 2006 by the Toulouse Cinematheque at L’immagine Ritrovata’s lab (Bologna, Italy) with the support of the Groupama Gan Foundation for Cinema. (2K DCP presentation)

    Thanks @creaturefan95 that was some good military photography investigating 
    makes me suspect the authenticity of the 1917 Champagne photograph due the similarities of the high camera angle  although i have never read anything to lead me believe it is not real..hmmmmm

    I spent a ton of money buying the books to clip the coupons for Unity 0 (I think that was the book), and then had to buy another copy for the collection. I sold those years later for next to nothing...and then Valiant relaunches and the books get hot again. Sigh. My favorites were Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, and Ninjak.
    P.S. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Jim Shooter this year when he signed my DD 141, which he wrote.

    I got to meet Jim Shooter at Heroescon 2017. Was lucky enough to pick up a sealed tin of Warriors of Plasm zero set for 10 bucks at the con to sign the inside certificate. Never realized how tall he is in person. Chatted with him a couple of minutes and gushed like a fan boy.

    Back in the day Charton was pure DREK  ! the artwork and writing was sub par and all they did was try their best to rip off DC and Marvel..........but many years have passed since then and those issues you got at your LCS are old enough and in decent enough shape to be sort of cool now ,...

    I really like the cover of Pictorial Romance #6 as it is probably the best Carrier cover i have yet seen..... i may someday start a carrier cover sub-set , there are not too many i have seen, 
    Todays modern carriers cost about 6 billion and carry around 4,000 men each i believe

    Yeah i have to admit that as bad as that cover is ... now i am wondering how it all happened ( Jimmy marrying a gorilla) and how it worked out ?? so even though it is hokey there was some decent allure due to cover to buy this issue back then !!
     
    And we all know DC LOVED gorilla covers !! i heard they were always some of their top sellers!!
