Gwandanaland Comics #402

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics reprint collects Soldier Comics #2 (originally a Fawcett Publication), a ten-cent wartime anthology that promised readers "Blazing Battles Exploding with Combat." The cover delivers exactly that — a gritty battlefield scene with helmeted soldiers charging forward under fire, bomb blasts punctuated by bold "BAM" and "BOOM" sound effects, bombers streaking across a smoke-filled sky, and a battle-worn commander in the foreground shouting "This Is It! Hit 'Em!" with fierce urgency. It's a vivid snapshot of Golden Age war comics at their most kinetic, and a great way to experience this slice of Fawcett's military storytelling in a convenient modern edition.
