As a Vietnam Era veteran 1974-1978 this series is one of my favorites. Dell had some excellent war comics. Even the Fraccio/Tallarico team did some of their best work here. Story and art in most issues is good. |

I don't know who all these artists are, but dawgonnit, they ain't George Evans! Personally I'd give "Doomsday Flight" to Paul Parker. And is that really a Crandall pencil job or just someone lifting Crandall figures? The Cranallism comes and goes throughout the story. |
