As you could clearly see in the stories I shared last week, one thing that Chapman's stories have in common is that he always uses a strong narrator, who states his case and is allowed
anything to tell his story. And one of the most unique tricks he used was the
fictional headline. Here's one I showed earlier, the first time he used this device.
Chapman's next war story is a WWII one, but I am showing it anyway, because of it's use of headlines (and Russ Heath magnificent art).

Faking newspaper headlines was no easy or cheap thing in the era of the Linotype.
For the first illustration, a Google search will direct you here: http://gwenaub.com/3sons/graphics/Stars_and_Stripes_Sicily_Invasion_sm.jpg
My guess is all the headlines are real.
