U.S. Paratroops

A gritty, five-issue war comic published by Avon beginning in 1952, U.S. Paratroops follows the airborne infantry through World War II combat. The series is distinguished by its rotating roster of accomplished illustrators, including Mort Lawrence, Tex Blaisdell, and Everett Kinstler, who brought a raw, kinetic energy to the battlefield. It stands as a compact, period-specific snapshot of the post-war appetite for authentic, soldier-level war stories.
