The Mammoth Book of Best War Comics4 reviews

Running Press, 2007

Great quality, great price

You really should not call a collection of war stories "best" if you have nothing from Marvel, DC or, especially, EC. That aside, the stories reprinted here range from excellent to "what-were-they-thinking?", although the latter are few and far between. The book includes stories by Will Eisner and ...

Osprey Publishing, 2006

Uneven Graphic Comic on the Battle of Midway!

In October 2006 Osprey Publishing unveilied its 'Graphic History' line of historical comics. The first releases dealt with the battles of Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, Antietam, Shiloh and this volume. If EMPIRE FALLS, BATTLE OF MIDWAY is representative of the series, Osprey needs to work on some sloppy ...

Enemy Ace Flys Again

+ Enemy Ace flies on!

I used to read DC Comics war stories when I was kid. Sgt Rock, Gunner & Sarge, Johnny Cloud, Haunted Tank and an occasional Capt Storm. But my favorite was Enemy Ace, Hans Von Hammer. Now his exploits (not all of them though) are collected in a two volume set. Joe Kubert was THE artist for war ...

Robert Kanigher

DC Comics, 2002

Interesting beginning to a unique character

+ A long-needed collection of one of Kubert's finest hours.
+ The first of its kind.

This volume, along with "The Sgt. Rock Archives", reprints excellent work by the team of Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert. What is particularly astounding about both volumes is that each contain a level of maturity and depth not found in the DC Comics super-hero line at that time (which is not to ...

Combat Zone is Groundbreaking in the Comic Book Industry Today

+ powerful, and a refreshing change of pace

Combat Zone is groundbreaking in the comic book industry today. After September 11th we were confronted with a plethora of polemics - comic books that sent a cynical message of appeasement, featuring a host of trite images hostile to the United States - including senior military officers portrayed ...
