Two-Fisted Tales #28 - Wally Wood art, Harvey Kurtzman cover

Two-Fisted Tales #28

Two-Fisted Tales v1 #28, 1952 - This tale about a pivotal battle during the Revolutionary War is told simply and straightforwardly. Rather than focusing on General Washington or his officers, the perspective comes from their rank-and-file soldiers. Several panels call for views of Manhattan from atmospheric heights, revealing the two armies' maneuvers over the island. Wally Wood maintains the same high level of craft as previous issues of Two-Fisted Tales. Stunning details and artistry occur on every panel. Page one, with its carefully considered use of graytones, depicts the battle's depressing aftermath. It also marks this issue's artistic high point. This story was later reprinted in Two-Fisted Tales v2 #11. Cartoonish at first glance, Harvey Kurtzman's cover effectively captures the violence of a devastating loss. Other artists in this comic include Will Elder and John Severin. This is 11 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues by Wood. /// select Kurtzman cover / Wood gallery
