Willie & Joe: the WWII years, Volume II



WORTH CONSUMING!
This is a very quaint collection of WWII comics drawn by Bill Mauldin. I’m not sure who he is, but he’s got talent. The humor is a lot like MASH, very authentic and topical- Pro American and Anti-war at the same time.

The best aspect of this book is the director’s cut type commentary at the end of the book that helps explain some of these cartoons in which if you did not know SOP, you’d very lost!

Sadly, not every comic gets this treatment, as they still were some that went over my head.

 I cannot wait to read Vol. 1!
