This issue features a fantastic cover by the essential DC
Comic’s war artist, Joe Kubert. The story on which this cover is based has a
young boy whose love of playing war games is helping his warlord father turn
the tide of battle in a post-apocalyptic world. It’s a very clever tale with
some of the most gruesome art of a melting man, that I’ve ever seen and I’ve
read tons of EC Comics. It’s truly gory!
Then there’s another nuclear holocaust tale in which a
survivor searches for the source of a voice crying for help. It’s got a ghastly
ending, but there isn’t any war per say. I guess the spoils of war count as a
war tale.
There’s a third story, but it’s really not all that
memorable. I guess that’s a shame. But, outta sight, outta mind ya know?
It’s a really freaky issue but still not 100% the quality
I expect from Weird War Tales. But it’s not the worst issue I’ve read in this
series either.
Worth Consuming.
