IngelsFan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I couldn't find a thread with DC war original art, so I decided to start one. Here are three of my twice up splashes. The first two are also the cover feature and both are pre-Sgt Rock Easy Company stories. Left to right it's Our Army at War 33 by Irv Novick, All American Men of War 39 by Ross Andu and Mike Esposito, and G. I. Combat 49 by Jerry Grandenetti.

There were only 6 new pages in that book (Kubert's 5 plus a gag page). I'm a huge fan of Weird War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekla Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Blackhawk always seemed to be on a blurred edge of war and superhero comics, but this Joe Kubert cover is one of the prize pieces in my collection. Joe Kubert - Blackhawk 245 cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dedication (usually frowned-up if appearing inside the dimensions of the actual artwork) actually looks quite neat (as is Heath's writing). Might help if your name's Ken . . .
