Artist's Edition #[79]

This Artist's Edition gathers some of DC's finest war comics work, with the cover — signed by Bolland — presenting an intensely rendered close-up of a battle-worn soldier in a helmet, cigarette dangling from his lips and ammunition draped across his shoulder, rendered in striking black-and-white linework. The collection spotlights stories by Heath, Kirby, Kubert, Severin, and Toth, including Archie Goodwin and Alex Toth's "Burma Sky," reproduced in the oversized Artist's Edition format that lets you appreciate every line and cross-hatch as originally drawn. For anyone who loves the craft behind mid-century war comics, this 2024 volume is a genuinely rewarding look at the artistry that made DC's war titles so compelling.
