American Update: ‘Make War No More!’ Classic Bronze Age Battle Tales from DC
*War: The early 1970s were a schizoid time for the DC war line; still popular sellers, but, with the zeitgeist of the American nation still reeling from Vietnam, tales of combat had to be less straightforward and gung-ho than they used to be. The writers and artists rose to the challenge, producing fine and often overlooked work. We have new listings from this period for Our Army At War (starring Sgt. Rock, from #236), Our Fighting Forces (featuring the Losers, from #131), Star Spangled War Stories (home to the Unknown Soldier, from #159), and the war/horror hybrid Weird War Tales, commencing with #5. These are mostly higher-grade additions, averaging Fine+ or better, and featuring the best artists working in the genre – Joe Kubert, of course, but also Russ Heath, Sam Glanzman, John Severin, Alex Toth and relative newbie Neal Adams!
