War Comics 17 17

And again, I'm looking for most intense, though the most intense are sometimes the best too.

I'm interpreting "intense" broadly and the stories I cited were ones that were psychologically intense, not necessarily intense in terms of action, looming danger or explicit violence. Thinking about, all would probably be more intense on subsequent readings than the first.

 

As soon as I saw the Romans on page one of Dirty Job today I remembered what it was. Fantastic story. Wonder who has the original art for page four?

 

There's a very early Hemingway story on the same theme.

OAAW43 is fun book!

That AAMOW 14 filled in a mini run...

(for bill977's want-list)

 

Wow, that looks better than an 8.0. You'd best not crack that and try to sell it at a higher grade because then you'd be worse than Hitler, Genghis Khan, and Vlad the Impaler all rolled together. That 8.0 is sacrosanct and can never, never ever, never ever ever under any circumstances, ever be changed. You will be assimilated, resistance to the CGC is futile. Your grading opinions will be added to their own. Don't forget that mister.

Everytime I see a Salida I die a little more inside.

 

At least I'll die happy.

This makes a little nervous to share this scan.

Been outta the loop for awhile. Adding my vote to OFF #40 for "The Silent Ones." Great story. OAAW 90 with Sgt. Rock's stripes story is also a classic. Toth and Goodwin's "White Devil, Yellow Devil" is definitely among the best. I also like Kanigher's "Horse Soldiers" drawn by Ric Estrada (not sure which issue). I also like Glanzman's "Color Me Brave" installment of U.S.S. Stevens. Super intense story with a twist ending that'll make you really think.

Thanks for the nominations! We haven't heard anyone suggesting any Atlas stories yet and was there just one EC nomination? I'm finding it fun to do this by publisher.

For me, Atlas war books are still largely Terra Incognita.... I have a few dozen, mostly Heath interiors and covers, but there are so many that I have never even seen... in fact, I'm sure there are titles I am completely unaware of. No doubt, there are some gems scattered throughout those runs.

 

BTW, been picking up some great stuff lately. I'm up to my neck with work these days, but I will make some scans next week and post some cool stuff!

 

Thanks

Heck, even the suggestion will get you labeled with the scarlett U - UNETHICAL.

That post serves to illustrate the transcendent fulfillment that comes from learning.

For some strange reason I can't focus on her dress.

I'm saddened she's wearing a dress.
