Does anyone know of issues containing World War I themes besides the character "Enemy Ace"?

 

thanks

 

Jeez, there have been many stand alone stories but I believe Enemy Ace was the only continuing series.

 

I remember one back up story for instance about opposing snipers in the trenches and they eventually sight and kill each other simultaneously. Can't for the life of me remember which issue it was in but I'd bet a donut it was an issue of Sgt Rock.

Balloonbuster was another WWI based series.

 

balloonbuster? sounds odd, he just went around shooting down observation balloons?

This was one of Andy's books which I got in last weeks Sunday Heritage auction.

I absolutely love this cover. I'm surprised it didn't have a better showing in the cover contest last year...

...check out the background with the planes, bombardment ships, and landing craft of the incoming allied invasion force. The whole story in one panel!

It's a great one alright! Love that book and a pretty copy, to boot!

Great book -- I was watching that auction because of that Grandenetti cover.

Glad to see it's gone to a good home.

Choice is a good thing. Especially when it comes to sphincters.

 

Either way, Thanks (thumbs u

Hey guys,

 

In honor of Silver Age DC War comics, I thought I would post a link here to some original sketches of DC war comic characters I had done on blank DC Zero Hour comics for those of you who might be interested to view them. (thumbs u Here it is:

I did want to mention that I've got the pictures of my t-shirt giveaways now. I just have to upload them and post them here. I'm giving them away in my war comics sale/promo thread. The link to that thread is below.

Special thanks to hesdeadjim (Rudi) for doing these up for me.

 

I had 6 of each of these shirts made, 3 XL, 3 L. I will be keeping 1 of each, so 5 of each available, actually. These are for prizes for winning my weekly contests, and I'll try to have some for the top 3 finishers overall as well.

 

Rudi even made up this one of a kind tee and (I imagine) through it in as a bonus.

 

 

I think these all look great! How about you??

They are stunning!

[MrBedrock]

Awesome

[thirdgreenham]

Well, then get in those games, guys. It's not hard to "guess" and you've got an added bonus if you're actually bidding.

OK, off the beaten path for a second......

 

Has anyone seen the SGT Fury toy soldiers? All I have found out about these is that they were mostly sold at five and dimes in the 70's? or 80's? These don't have any upcs, and are very cheaply packaged (bubbles are super super thin, back of the package is blank brown cardboard). I'm trying to get a full set together, but don't know what or if I'm missing any. Pictured are: Beachhead Assult, Armored Attack, Defence force with Floating Bridge, Invasion Team, and an Armored Attack 4 soldier pack. I buy multiples when I find them, and there is a guy on Ebay that sells I believe the invasion team that he got a whole case of. Any information would be appreciated!
