Sqeggs Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Last week there was a thread on this forum which discussed a variant cover of Green Lama #6. That prompted me to dig out my copy of the comic to take a look at that issue. While thumbing through the magazine I was surprised to discover an editorial written by the publisher, Ken Crossen, in which he commented on the subject of prejudice in this country. I'd never seen that topic addressed in a WWII era comic before. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen that subject discussed in any other comic books, either editorially or mentioned in a comic story, during the war years? From Green Lama #6 From Green Lama #2 I remember seeing those editorials (probably in my copies of those books) and being struck by them. I can't remember seeing anything similar elsewhere.

BangZoom Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 '' Those are fascinating. Not quite what you're looking for, but I wonder if those pages might have been an inspiration for the great EC story "In Gratitude", which saw print some years later -- Korean War vet returns to his small town and is shocked to find that they refuse to bury his black comrade who died saving his life. Drawn by Wally Wood -- Thanks again for bringing the story to my attention. Here is the complete story for anyone who'd like to read it.
