That's an orange that you almost NEVER see on anything but a Charlton. Great book!

One of my favorites as well (it's mine!) He also did some Our Fighting Forces that were very good, #12 is probably one of my favorites.

It's funny because I just received the SSWS 5 in the mail today and came upon the orange post. Serendipity

[thirdgreenham]

I was just looking at my copy of SSWS 5 today.

I just bought the first war comic I've gotten in a long time yesterday. It was $15. Did I do good?

Definitely. Looks in very decent shape.

During WWII and the Korean War, certain factions of the opposing sides used dinosaurs in battle as a secret weapon. (As a side benefit, the dinosaurs could thus be kept quite well-fed without too much trouble).

 

DC commemorated these epic battles in one of the DC War titles, Star Spangled War Stories. But they did so in a small-ish run within just this one title so as to still keep the secret relatively hush-hush.

Dinosaurs were "in" for a couple of years at National's war book department back in the early 60s. Makes a change from Weisinger's super-gorillas and army of Bizarros. Not that you'd've seen many of those in the Big 5 titles...

[Jeffro.]

In recent years, they have tried outfitting (freakin') dinosaurs with (freakin') laser beams on their heads. It's really hush hush

[Jeffro.]

And the T in the T-34 originally stood for tyrannosaurus. Only one thing worse than a t-rex coming at you and that's a t-rex with a tank turret on it's head

DC can sometimes get carried away, it has to be said.
