19 comic stories from the 1940s-1970s (Simon & Kirby, Joe Kubert, Alex Toth, John Severin, Mort Drucker, Neal Adams, Russ Heath, others) plus a history and bibliography of DC war comics.
From the back cover:
“From Tomahawk to Sgt. Rock, DC Comics has published the finest stories of America at war on land, sea and in the air. Hop Harrigan, Blackhawk, The Unknown Soldier, Enemy Ace, Gunner and Sarge, Mlle. Marie, Captain Hunter, The Boy Commandos, Jeb Stuart’s Haunted Tank, Captain Storm, Easy Company and many more of the very best war comics are reprinted here (in full color) for the first time. From the Revolutionary War to Vietnam, from wars in the past to wars of the future, the universal theme has remained constant: War IS Hell (even in the comics).”
