Features prominent authors in the genre such as W.C. Tuttle, Jim Fjaalgard, Kenneth Perkins, and others. Most of the short stories inside were tales of the exploits of brave and gritty American troops, the stories of bravery among soldiers came with emotive black and white illustrations. Most magazines have about 128 pages filled with war stories and colorful sensational cover art. Covers often have the most prominent stories featured as a quasi-title at the top of the page. Such titles include: "New Guinea Gold", "Slaves for Ethiopia", "War Horse", and "White Bird of Empire". The 6 issues include: July 1939, October 1940, September 1943, September 1944, May 1945, July 1945. The cover of The Lagoon of Lost Command Sept. 1943 issue shows an American G.I. holding a Japanese soldier captive as other Japanese soldiers look for them. In general, the covers are over the top depiction's of tough-as-nails American troops in the heat of battle. Almost every magazine cover contained a cover that depicts a soldier fighting fiercely or performing a heroic act. This was to attract the attention of an average G.I. during World War II. These wonderfully flashy cover illustrations regularly featured American G.I. wounded, or under fire, but still performing heroic acts against Nazi barbarians A few years after the war, the 1954 Comics Code banned violent or sexual images in comics and pulp, which killed off many pulp war magazines and comics. Most the titles in this archive are in very good condition, some are chipping along spine and margins, but all covers still holding and all interiors clean. Overall, in very good condition.
