Weird War Tales

(DC, 1971-1983)
DC

This title took the best of two popular DC genres—war stories and the supernatural—and combined them to create tragedy, comedy, and wonder. The stories range from an odd déjà-vu experience to encounters with the supernatural. The wartime setting adds tension to these eerie scenes, giving them added effect. In its 124-issue run, Weird War Tales featured many of comicdom’s finest artists, including Terry Austin, Keith Giffen, Walt Simonson, Steve Ditko, and Neal Adams.
