Could the stories have been taken from a Charlton war comic? Definitely Fraccio and Tallarico on the art. Incongruous to have a Talent Show set amidst all the war materiel. Maybe it'spart of the "Junior Peace Force."

Funny, the feature called "General Orders" (pages 13-14) uses the actual US Marine Corps general orders, but the art portrays the US Army. Nevertheless, as a former jarhead who had to know those orders, I find this feature hilarious.

Unbelievable. I kept looking for something in small print that said "MACO (Military Armaments for Children Operation) TOYS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United States Army" or something like that!

[Maco Toys, Inc., was the name of a popular toy company based in Brooklyn, New York which produced war-themed toys for children in the 1950s and 1960s. Their toys were sold in a catalog that was illustrated by Tony Tallarico and printed by Charlton Comics which presented itself as a war comic book. ( These toys were also sold in toy stores.) Products included plastic guns (including the M1903 Springfield rifle[6] and an Army Paratrooper Carbine [7]), grenades, and a plastic Molotov cocktail.] A plastic Molotov Cocktail. The mind boggles. and here it is. http://trulyawful.blogspot.com/2007/03/toy-molotov-cocktail-you-know-for-kids.html Hey kids! Here is a fun toy you can make at home! [In 1955, the New York City Council passed a bill to ban the manufacture, sale or possession of imitation revolvers that resemble the real article too closely. In a debate about the measure, an Army .45 caliber automatic manufactured by Maco was used as an example of a toy gun which was similar enough to the real model to be used as a weapon in a robbery.] Cheers!

I wonder if ol Gregg Chervak ever got his hands on one of those MACO "G.I Field Kits"??? Most likely , as was the case with most of us kids back in the day, probably more wishful thinking and an exercise in futility than anything. I know I filled out countless Captain Company order forms that never got sent in.

NotesThis giveaway toy catalog was likely illustrated in its entirety by artists Tony Tallarico and Bill Fraccio, who frequently collaborated. The first comic story "Battle for Hill 77" is signed "A. Tallarico," and under that name in small letters, "Bill-Tone Studio." The two collaborators often signed their work with some combined version of their names.
