AJD had a thread where the focus was on War Bonds and Stamp covers. I'd post a link, but can't get any results out of the search engine.

Thanks for remembering me.

@AJD Did you have specific australian comics dealing with the war time (not just facts, atmosphere in general, etc)?
I seem to get Australia relied a lot mostly on foreign productions for a long time.

Not really. There was in fact a very healthy Australian industry of home drawn comics, but most of them were adventure, crime and romance. I'm not aware of any WW2 vintage war-related books, though a few popped up during the Korean War. I did start a thread of Australian GA, but there aren't any 1939-45 war books in there that I recall.

I haven’t had time to work on new threads.
In the meanwhile I was thinking about Canada… I recall there was a thread about original GA canadian books with war themed stories.
If someone points me to it, I will add it.

New bump to bring this index to new members' attention!

What a great addition! Old thread, but precisely what I’d be more interested in.
Thanks much for the link! I just added it.

We did get a mention in some foreign comics, Here's one.

“Real Life”… an underappreciated title it seems, especially for its historical relevance.
If there weren’t these few "sought after” issues I would love to have the first ones…

Including his usual cartoony and exaggerated Japanese soldier is kind of jarring given how realistic the rest of the cover is.
