Covers like THIS make me think about starting to collect WAR comics

[dekeuk]

 

I have never been interested in war comics, but lately I seem to notice more and more great covers on old war comics.

 

This one below is being sold on ebay this week I noticed.

 

It's covers like this that make me think about collecting old war comics.

 

I am so glad the artist did not include any words being spoken on the cover, it's perfect the way it is.

Can't accuse him of sleeping on duty.

Our Fighting Forces #71 is pretty sweet too (maybe someone could post an image ).

I love this one too.

 

Joe Kubert is SO under-rated and under-appreciated.

There are so many great war covers.....

 

But it only takes one to turn you off to the genre...IF it's bad enough.

 

Take this for example...

 

 

 

Yes it's the alternate version...THANK GOD there was an editor to stop the Tighty Whitey SS from making it to the stands.

I don't know much about war comics.

 

I just really love the fact this cover shows no action, but tons of suspense.

 

There is no yelling, no motion, no gunfire ........ but you can see the fear and anticipation in the soldier's eyes as he silently wait for the enemy in the dark

 

Great mood cover.

I would never let one bad cover ruin the fun for me

 

There have been BAD covers in every genre and for every major title

 

If this was true, Rob Liefeld would have killed the entire superhero genre just by himself

True, True...although it was on life support around '96-'97.

 

He did his best but the genre survived in spite of it all.

When I saw the title of this thread, I knew it was going to be that GI COMBAT cover. It's spectacular!

The two GI's in the OFF #71 look nervous, but the dog is like, 'Bring it on!".

[nickwire]

every grey tone dc war book is amazing

[HeyMoe]

Didn't someone here do a list of the top twenty war covers that forum members voted on!?

It may have been in the Golden Age section.

 

[Norrin_Radd]

I'm in the same boat. There are some great DC war covers (especially GI Combat and Enemy Ace).
