About the series
During its long 1961–1973 run at Dell, Combat delivered gritty, no-holds-barred war stories across 40 issues, with Sam Glanzman—both a writer and artist—at the creative heart of the series. Often paired with regular contributors like Paul S. Newman and Vince Colletta, the title stood out for its unflinching depiction of soldiers in World War II and other conflicts, avoiding the jingoistic tone common to many war comics of the era. Its matter-of-fact, human-scale approach to combat made it a quietly respected staple of Dell's lineup, remembered today for its raw authenticity and Glanzman's distinctive, documentary-style art.
