Blazing Combat

By Archie Goodwin

Book Overview

A comic-book classic with timely resonance: Blazing Combat was anAmerican war-comics magazine published by Warren Publishing from 1965 to 1966.Written and edited by Archie Goodwin , with artwork by such industry notables asGene Colan , Frank Frazetta , John Severin , Alex Toth , Al Williamson, RussHeath, Reed Crandall, and Wally Wood , it featured war stories in bothcontemporary and period settings, unified by a humanistic theme of the personalcosts of war, rather than by traditional men's adventure motifs. What proved tobe the most controversial were stories set during the then-contemporary VietnamWar; one such story caused key distributors to stop selling the title.Fantagraphics is proud to present a softcover edition of the sold-out hardcover,magnificently printed and bound, of these stories, superbly reproduced from theoriginal printer's film negatives.
