Haven't posted here in a long time. Picked this up at the SDCC. This one's been tougher to get than surrounding issues for some reason.

One of my faves, Mick! I really like that run written/edited by Archie Goodwin and drawn by Jack Sparling... underrated imho. And that issue there has just a fantastic Unknown Soldier story.

 

Sure would love to have the OA for that cover hanging on my wall!

This thread needs a bump. :grin:

 

The P-51, no finer combat figther plane in WWII, IMHO.

 

I found this book in a box of misc books at a LCs not too long ago. Looking at the title, I had to chuckle/wonder if they were trying to borrow from DC's "Our Fighting Forces". A check just inside the cover shows the actual title is "Attack", however.

You know, Charltons from the 1968-1984 era don't get enough credit. Sure there was lots of dreck, but there DC war books hit some lows in the late 70s/early 80s too.

 

Perhaps these books deserve some respect and re-consideration?

 

I got a large collection of these in VFish shape a couple of years back - about 200 books. Some of the covers are just fantastic. To wit...

Very nice Shep. Sadly, the non Glanzman stuff is mediocre at best.

 

A lot of it is dreck, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Pat Boyette's work. There also are several excellent artists (Italian? Filipino? Spanish?) who did some very nice artwork. Ditko is in there too, plus some pretty on-form Don Sutton and Don Perlin throughout the runs.

It is amazing how much Charlton was able to improve overall on it's covers from the mid S.A. to the B.A. (thumbs u
