| COMBAT #3 is about the Bataan Death March. Once again Sam Glanzman does an excellent job of storytelling. There is not, really, any comment I can add to this story without bias. Which Mr. Glanzman HAS done. He doesn't "paint a pretty picture" here. COMBAT #3 is dated March 1962, the month and year I was born. Just read it. |
