1950's war comics

A French assault on German positions. Champagne, France., 1917

@AJD and @707comics thank you for reading my war related posts , i'm not 1950's war comics for nothing  

as i mentioned above , i have sort of hijacked the "dunkirk" movie thread in the water cooler and have begun slowly posting war related items i think people would find interesting 

@creaturefan95, i hope you don't mind i have hijacked your thread  keep posting them sweet EC's and any other war comic 

actually in the Water Cooler i sort of hijacked the "Dunkirk" movie thread to post some more of my military history posts  

i will have to do some digging to find those other two combat photo's showing both attacker and defender , one i have never seen except for being published in a book i have that i would have to dig out  from my library,,, the other photo is quite common , will find it soon but until then..

i have not read otherwise but i believe this haunting photo is either staged or from a movie , that or an extremely brave German soldier risked death and waited until an advancing French squad was almost on top of him to take the picture,.. probably from inside a concrete bunker if the photo is real , It is hard to tell if the leading French soldier has just been shot or if he is throwing a grenade,...can't tell but it is likely that the photographer would be shooting a gun rather than shooting a photo under these circumstances .. so even though the photo looks real i have a hard time believing it although i have not read one way or another about the photo's legitimacy .......

@1950's war comics Would love to hear more!

This one is reportedly from the 1914 Christmas truce ... not sure if it counts:

 

thanks ,there are gadzillions of POW photo's showing both sides , and quite a few from the Christmas truce

only three photo's i know of that are combat action photo's though......

Battlefront #2 is seldom offered for sale so nice pick-up 

as a minor league military historian i am aware of only three combat photographs that show both attacking and defending soldiers in the same photo

above is one , the other two are both from WW1 and one is well known and published often and the third is quite obscure and fascinating......

This photo, purportedly from the battle of Dien Bien Phu, shows a a French charge over extremely broken terrain...

rare photo that shows the both attacker and defender in the same picture...

the very top two comics shown in this thread.. , Frontline Combat #13 and Two Fisted Tales #40 show seldom seen first world war action covers 

Thanks ! those are fun little ads to read !

i don't own any Creepy, but i like them ! and maybe someday will collect them

i really like that JAWS of DEATH cover at top of page 

I can't tell which issue it is...??,,,,

graded copies are sweet ! i know they take up so much room though......

9.4 graded copy is sweet ! 

Nice start to a nice collection ! nice collections are built up over time 

Nice registry sets  

NICE !!

this is my second favorite war cover except my avatar

do you have this one yet?

i like #48 best from this nice grouping 

Coins collecting is actually my first love but these days comics have taken over , but the nice thing about coins is that they can survive floods without significant damage, 

i may go back to coins again in a few years but comics are much funner to collect....

Wow those pictures are horrible , glad you were able to save one box at least

how very terrible to buy a new house live there only one week and lose everything in it

the mainstream media these days is so quick to going back to bashing certain people that they treat massive events, like horrible hurricanes as if they are yesterdays news almost instantly

WOW ! what GREAT additions 

WOW !! some major keys checked off !!

does #13 have a detached cover or something ?? sure looks nice for a 2.0

nice !! you got 4moff (four more of fantastic four)

Way too go ! awesome accomplishment !! 

i do the same as you with my CGC submissions... i never look at the grades on -line .. that would be a pure waste, imagine all time time acquiring them raw... all that money,... then shipping and waiting all that time for them to get graded.... and then ruining the fun by looking at the grades on-line which would only take 45 seconds !!

i wait until i get my box back home and then i only look at one or two a day ... and i try and guess the grades before rev ealing the CGC grade , those Bicentenial comics are a nice set! i cant believe they are over 40 years old now !!
