Two-Fisted Tales #20 - Wally Wood art, Harvey Kurtzman cover

Two-Fisted Tales #20

Two-Fisted Tales v1 #20, 1951 - American paratroopers descend into France, fulfilling their mission for the D-Day invasion. The notions of bravery and cowardice are explored in this sumptuously drawn Wally Wood tale. Each panel gets progressively more detailed, overflowing with compelling visuals. The top panel on page three displays the sheer military might of the US with its plethora of tanks, airplanes, jeeps, soldiers, etc. The climax to a sergeant's flashback on page seven is devoid of frames, setting it apart for emphasis. Wood's masterful drawings continue to set high standards for EC. This story was later reprinted in Two-Fisted Tales v2 #3. As usual, the viscerally graphic approach of Harvey Kurtzman's cover puts readers on a knife's edge. Other artists in this comic include John Severin, Will Elder and Jack Davis. This is 3 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues by Wood. /// select Kurtzman cover / Wood gallery
