    Five War Novels

    I remember the old 100 pagers from DC comics but never picked up a war comic of that era.

    These stories are pretty cool. The Viking guy comes to us as he is on his way to Valhalla, but then gets swamped in some dimensional warp and ends up on a Nazi battlefield. Since the "huns" have been around a few thousand years, it's only natural that a Viking will want to stave in a few Nazi helmets. Robert Kanigher wrote most of this comic book and he does a great job of keeping in the excitement and horror of war without the gross reality of today's books.

    My favorite of all of them was 'To Honor a Hero', about a football star who joins up during WWII and ends up captured by the Japanese. The Japanese have him go through all kinds of humiliation for sport, that if he does not then his sergeant would be executed. Quite a twist ending! I may pick up more of this series.

    You can get a copy on eBay VF/NM for under ten dollars. Great Kubert cover!
