Continuing Fantagraphics’ project to reprint Marvel
Comics’ 1950s genre titles, this volume compiles the
first of what became the industry’s largest line of war
books. Produced by veterans of WWII, the eight issues
here feature future mainstream comics stalwarts such
as Gene Colan, Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, and more.
Forged in the crucible of the Korean War, and produced by veterans
of the Second World War, this volume’s eight issues present the
brutality and grimness of armed combat by some of Atlas’ most
notable war artists and future comics stars including Gene Colan,
Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, Dave Berg, Jay Scott Pike, Mike Sekowsky, Vern
Henkel, Allen Bellman, Pete Morisi and Norman Steinberg.
Propaganda abounds from the very first story, published in War Comics
#1 in September 1950: “Peril in Korea,” a primer explaining why the U.S.
joined the conflict. Other highlights include Colan’s “The Chips are Down”
and “Victory,” Heath’s “Alone” and “No Survivors,” Maneely’s “Stormy
Weather,” Henkel’s “Total Destruction,” and Berg’s “The Infantry’s War.”
Originally a trial spun off from the publisher’s “Men’s Adventure” publications,
in the nine years to follow Atlas went on to produce 533 comic
book issues with war content, across 34 different titles. War Comics is
where it all began, unseen in decades, scanned from the original books,
restored, and packaged as one large, beautiful hardcover volume.
