Synopsis

A comic-book classic with timely resonance. Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine published by Warren Publishing from 1965 to 1966. Written and edited by Archie Goodwin, with artwork by such industry notables as Gene Colan, Frank Frazetta, John Severin, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Wally Wood, it featured war stories in both contemporary and period settings, unified by a humanistic theme of the personal costs of war, rather than by traditional men's adventure motifs. What proved to be the most controversial were stories set during the then-contemporary Vietnam War; one such story caused key distributors to stop sellling the title. Fantagraphics is proud to present a deluxe, hardcover edition, magnificently printed and bound, of these stories, superbly reproduced for the original printer's film negatives.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine published between 1965 and 1966, featuring stories in both contemporary and period settings - focussing firstly on the Second World War and the American civil war and moving on to more controversial Vietnam-based stories. Blazing Combat's comics were remarkable in that they were unified by a humanistic theme of the personal cost of war, rather than by traditional adventure motifs. While writer Archie Goodwin portrayed the conflicts evenhandedly, his Vietnam stories caused key distributors to stop selling the title.
