About the series
Bill Mauldin’s Star Spangled Banter ran for just two issues in 1944, published by the military newspaper Army Times. A sharp, wartime comic strip, it showcased Mauldin’s signature blend of gritty humor and empathy for the common soldier, bringing the same irreverent voice he made famous in Willie and Joe. Though brief, it stands as a compact testament to his ability to capture the weary resilience of GIs during World War II.
