thank you for the informative post @creaturefan95''

i always wondered why Overstreet referred to Battle Cry #4 as an EC cover swipe , i do not recall the particular EC issues that were swiped but your explanation helps a lot

Battle Cry #4

I was never sure if "Classic E.C. swipe" referred to the stories inside that issue or its cover until I found the answer in Squa Tront #8:

There are other instances of Stanmor Publications swiping from EC in the same issue:

The cover to Battle Cry #5 is reminiscent of the one Kurtzman did for Two-Fisted Tales #28:

Hello folks,

I received a donation this summer from Don Rosa. He contributed toward the war comics dinner auction, but we didn't have enough folks who'd bid on the item to raise funds for Russ Heath and Sue Glanzman. So we postponed the auction until I had a chance to post it on Ebay. The art is a hybrid between Mademoiselle Marie and Magica De Spell. In case you're interested, here's the link:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Comics-Artist-Don-Rosa-Original-Signed-art-benefit-for-Heath-Glanzman/132406544828


You can also search for it as "Don Rosa Heath"

If you're interested, bid it up. 100% of the proceeds will be split evenly between Heath and Sue Glanzman.

Hi people,
Just to follow up, I finally wrapped that ebay auction and added it to the final proceeds of the war comics banquet. It amounted to $800 total, so I split it between Sue Glanzman and Russ Heath. Money orders were sent out in early December. In the spirit of transparency, I took pictures of the MOs and asked TheCollectron (who also attends the war comics banquets) to mail out the MOs for me (thus passing through two sets of hands). Here are the MOs. This $$ went to a good cause. Wish I had more to pass them, but we didn't go all out this year with the auction since we tried to keep things modest for the banquet.
