Blazing Combat

    (Warren, 1965-1966)
™ and © Warren

James Warren strove hard to emulate all of the titles from the classic EC Comics days. He made magazines like Creepy and Eerie from an inspiration of Tales From the Crypt and 1984/1994 from Weird Science. For Blazing Combat, he turned to EC’s Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat for his inspiration.

Unfortunately, Blazing did not achieve a hint of the success of the other titles, perhaps because war comics were not as much in vogue during the Viet Nam War than during the Korean War or World War II. More likely, James Warren just had too much product on the market by 1965 that something had to give and this title became an unfortunate casualty. But it really is top-notch material.
