Christmas Combat Comics DC HOLIDAY BASH "Sgt Rock in 'A Christmas Carol' "

TEN-HUTT!
It's likely the most depressing Christmas Frank Rock has ever had.

But the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future are about to show him why it is necessary!

Plotted by Chuck Dixon, illustrated by Russ Heath, this never-reprinted variation on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (set during the Battle of the Bulge) from DC's DCU Holiday Bash II (1998) is a reminder to us all about our men and women in uniform duringand what they sacrifice for us.

Merry Christmas to All

and to All a...

Celebrate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day...by Reading Comics/Graphic Novels!

TEN-HUT!!!

It's the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allies, led by America, invaded Fortress Europa...

...and we at War: Past Present and Future , along with our fellow RetroBlogs, Hero Histories and Atomic Kommie Comics, have presented numerous graphic tales of that epic day, beginning with Marvel's Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos hitting the beach on D-Day!

Yes, it was reprinted in a Marvel Masterworks over a decade ago, but those are extremely-expensive and didn't sell very well, so most of you have never seen this tale from over a half century ago!

We gave equal time to Fury's DC counterpart, Sgt. Rock, presenting his never-reprinted D-Day adventure...which was also the final story illustrated by his co-creator Joe Kubert!

It was really crowded at Normandy on June 6th, 1944 since Blackhawk and his team were also there, so it's only fair we present their never-reprinted D-Day adventure...which also doubles as their previously-unrevealed origin...at Hero Histories!

The EC Comics crew, best known for sci-fi and horror, also did a story about D-Day...by three ex-military personnel as seen HERE!

And one of their crew, who served in the Merchant Marine before becoming a paratrooper, did this tale  about our paratroopers on D-Day...

Our "parent" RetroBlog, AtomicKommie Comics, joined in with both a brief three-pager...

...and a multi-part retelling courtesy of Gilberton, the publisher behind Classics Illustrated and World Around Us!

Enjoy, and if you have a friend or family member who's a D-Day veteran, tell him "Thank You" for us!

Dis-missed!

Summer Blogathon JOE KUBERT PRESENTS SGT ROCK "Farewell"

Ten-HUT!

While Sgt Fury was fighting furiously somewhere on the beaches of Normandy on July 6, 1944....

..his DC Comics counterpart was equally busy along that same coastline!

Quite different in tone and style from the Silver Age Sgt Fury tale we've been presenting the last few days, this deliberately-bittersweet story from DC's Joe Kubert Presents #5 (2013) was the legendary Joe Kubert's final and fitting new Sgt Rock tale.

Until Next Time...
