Since a couple of weeks ago I have been showing some of the 'history' stories featured in Timely-Atlas' war titles in the mid fifties. Sometimes the second world war, featured in many 'regular' stories was given the historical treatment as well., such as in this story about the early days of the war. I chose it for the art by one of my favorites from this period, George Tuska. Too few people know his work from this period, which was inked a lot heavier than anything he did before or after. Just after doing this story, he will probably have taken over the Scorchy Smith daily and Sunday strip in a similar style.
