About the series
Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis, John Severin, and George Evans brought a gritty, unflinching eye to war and adventure stories in Two-Fisted Tales, a Calvert Comics series that ran for 11 issues from 1953 to 1954. Known for its stark realism and anti-romantic view of conflict, the series cut through the jingoism of the era with taut, character-driven narratives and meticulously detailed art. It stands as a landmark of pre-Code comic book storytelling, showcasing the raw talent that would soon define EC’s legendary war comics.
