Original Vintage Art & Text
One comic authority guessed that Matt Baker was the penciler of this art. Anther guessed that Vince Colletta penciled it. Both agreed that Colletta inked it. So I’m just crediting it to the Vince Colletta studio to cover my bases. (Colletta had a lot of different artists assisting him in his studio.) The art is from “His Face Before Me” in Romance Stories of True Love #51, Sept. 1958. Harvey Comics.

While I’m getting over Covid I didn’t have enough oomph to do a new comic for Memorial Day. (Coming up with a meaningful image and text for the holiday is by far my toughest assignment every year. Frankly, I’m not up to it at the moment)
The best I could do is run this reprint gag which has a military theme–sort of.
