Comics | Weird War Tales, 124 issues Complete Digital Comics Collection

Product details

Weird War Tales was a war comic book title with supernatural overtones published by DC Comics. It was published from September–October 1971 to June 1983. The original title ran for 12 years and 124 issues. It was an anthology series that told war stories with horror, mystery, fantasy and science fiction elements. Changes in the Comics Code Authority made the use of horror elements possible. The first seven issues were reprinted material. Each issue beginning with issue #8 was hosted by Death, usually depicted as a skeleton dressed in a different military uniform each issue. The title’s name was inspired by editor Joe Orlando. Walt Simonson’s first professional published comic book work appeared in Weird War Tales #10 (January 1973). Roger McKenzie and Frank Miller’s first collaboration was on a two-page story published in Weird War Tales #68 (October 1978). Recurring characters began to appear late in the series run, notably the G.I. Robot, and the return of “The War that Time Forgot” which originally ran in Star Spangled War Stories. Writer J. M. DeMatteis and penciler Pat Broderick created the Creature Commandos in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980).Several issues featured a series of short vignettes titled “The Day After Doomsday” featuring largely doomed characters dealing with various threats and harsh ironies of living in a post-nuclear war apocalyptic landscape. The first few stories dealt with a society reduced to medieval ways seven centuries after a war but most others dealt with the near-term aftermath, with the unexpected results of radiation or infrastructure damage almost always catching the characters by surprise. Other stories featured robot soldiers, ghosts, the undead, and other paranormal characters from different eras of time.* File type(s): CBR, CBZ.
