What is the issue number of the comic, “All American Men Of War” That has a cover of two soldiors looking out of a cave at japaniese soldiors? Please help this flash fan. Chefflash
I’m not familiar with that one, but you can probably search for the series at comics.org and skim through the cover gallery.
With long titles I’ve found it’s best to search for part of the title instead of the whole thing, because the search index is very picky about punctuation. Also, if a series is stored as (for example) “Flash, The” it won’t turn up with a search for “The Flash” and vice-versa.
Thanks for the tip. I’m happy to get it. Chefflash
Man, Wednesday Comics has been pretty great – but I find myself reading about half the strips and ignoring the others. Some just didn’t adapt well to the tabloid format, see “Wonder Woman”
I’ve heard they when they collect it, they’re going to do it by title – I hope that’s true.
