Two-Fisted Tales #23

Two-Fisted Tales v1 #23, 1951 - A pair of American GIs sporadically run into each other on battlefields during World War I. Wally Wood's large opening panel is a grisly scene, depicting a German biplane hovering over a field of dead infantrymen. A rodent emerges from the eye socket of a soldier's skull. The backdrop is a disturbing landscape of decayed corpses still in uniform. Meticulously drawn and frenetically paced over only seven pages, Wood continues to outshine his talented colleagues in this genre. This story was later reprinted in Two-Fisted Tales v2 #6. Jack Davis does an uncharacteristically droll effort for his wartime tale. Other artists this include John Severin and Will Elder. Cover by Harvey Kurtzman. This is 6 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues by Wood. /// Wood gallery
