vaillant Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 @AJD Did you have specific australian comics dealing with the war time (not just facts, atmosphere in general, etc)? I seem to get Australia relied a lot mostly on foreign productions for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to get Australia relied a lot mostly on foreign productions for a long time. Not really. There was in fact a very healthy Australian industry of home drawn comics, but most of them were adventure, crime and romance. I'm not aware of any WW2 vintage war-related books, though a few popped up during the Korean War. I did start a thread of Australian GA, but there aren't any 1939-45 war books in there that I recall. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I haven’t had time to work on new threads. In the meanwhile I was thinking about Canada… I recall there was a thread about original GA canadian books with war themed stories. If someone points me to it, I will add it.

vaillant Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 “Real Life”… an underappreciated title it seems, especially for its historical relevance. If there weren’t these few "sought after” issues I would love to have the first ones… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including his usual cartoony and exaggerated Japanese soldier is kind of jarring given how realistic the rest of the cover is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
