I read Team Yankee when it first came out. It's a pretty tense tale of a NATO/Warsaw Pact war in Europe in the 80's ( a real possibility in those days). There's an limited exchange of nukes but it peter's out in the end. Enough to play on the fears of the era without going for the total annihilation of both sides.

I have my off-the-rack copy too. Never been peeved there wasn't a second one though.

 

Now that DC Super Stars (or whatever) with Rock and US and Marie trying to stop the German ICBMs--there was a one-shot!

That's one of the few books that survived our trade last year Marc. I couldn't get rid of it even in it's tattered condition. I bought it near Aspen CO June 17th, 1977 during a family vacation. I know because I wrote the place and date on the back, it's a pretty cool memory for me.

Hey Guys, This weeks book is very hard to find! I got pretty lucky on finding a Battle Group Peiper (listed before by Bigfiver 69) and this one called: Witches Caldron. This is the story of the Cherkassy Pocket or Witches Caldron as the Germans called it. Late 1943 the Russians stage a second Stalingrad and surround 56,000 German troops. Well lets just say not to many made it out!

If you can find this one It is a good read. Grab in any condition! HTF!

Vietnam Journal is a series called Fire Team. This is about a Vietnamese/American boy and his Vietnamese uncle living in the US about 15 yrs after Vietnam. The first 3 books deal with the problem of living in the US and not fitting in. The last 3 books deal with the search for the boys long lost American father who is still fighting the war in Vietnam. The Fire Team are the members of the squad who put the boy and his uncle on the last chopper out the firebase before it was overrun. The members of the Fire Team are killed but come back to life when the boy and his uncle need help. Interesting but not great is what I would call this one.

This is a Modern but I thought I would sneek it in here. In 68 a U.S. squad is sent deep into the jungles of Vietnam to search for three missing buddies. They find there fellow soldiers and Weird War all over again! You should be able to find these still at your LCS in back issues or easy to find on E-bay.

Hiya boys and girls!

 

I've just started a new thread and I need your help and input. It's a thread to showcase DC war covers. I'm trying to show off our favorites or perhaps the ones that would be considered extremely challenging to draw and therefore deserve some attention. Eventually, I'd like to start a new thread with a DC war comic cover "Survivor Series".

 

Please slide over to Comics General and post some great covers in this thread here: DC War Cover Thread

 

Thanks everyone!!! (worship)

 

Andy
