HARROWING, TRUE-TO-LIFE WAR TALES IN THE EC TRADITION.

HARROWING, TRUE-TO-LIFE WAR TALES IN THE EC TRADITION.

Before Two-Fisted Tales burst onto the scene in 1950, war comics were largely unsophisticated, focusing only on action and adventure-wartime propaganda, essentially. But under the editorial direction of Harvey Kurtzman-who also penned the majority of the stories therein-Two-Fisted Tales dared to examine all the horror and madness to be found on the battlefield.

Collecting Two-Fisted Tales issues #30-#35, now in an affordable paperback edition, this volume features-in fully remastered digital color-the work of comic book greats Gene Colan, Johnny Craig, Reed Crandall, Jack Davis, Will Elder, Ric Estrada, George Evans, Joe Kubert, Harvey Kurtzman, John Severin, and Wally Wood!
