Paratrooper covers RUN

[adamstrange]

Great stuff, paratrooper. Keep 'em flying in!

"Keep 'em flyin'," one of my favorite GA sayings!

 

Vaughn, do you see a similarity to the DC parachute drawings? So many of them just say "DC style" to me, even that BA GI Combat one. Sure, there are probably only so many ways to draw a parachute but still, I've sent you enough now that I'm seeing patterns (even if there is nothing there).

There definately is a pattern in a lot of these paratrooper drawings...but keep a close eye on all the Kubert paratrooper books, there are a lot of them. Even more interesting are the Paratrooper books published during different conflicts the US was involved in i.e. Vietnam vs. WWII even Panama where the 82nd Airborne jumped in. But, I am getting ahead of myself, for I have collected only a fraction of this huge run.

Yes it did, fantastic greytone paratrooper cover. If I could ever get this book in a 9.0+ condition I'd be the happiest man alive. My next goal is to get Star Spangled War Stories #45 in any condition.

[adamstrange]

It does not look well for the guy on the right, slumped down as if shot before he hit the ground!

 

You have a great thread, paratrooper. There really is quite a variety of parachute covers across the decades and this is a fun way to look at the comics!

[Paratrooper]

Thanks! I will be posting more soon, just waiting for a few to come in the mail.
