Sam Glanzman Combat Collection: D-Day Preview Pages

 

From the Pages of Combat by Sam Glanzman

Recently, the good folks at It's Alive sent me an email asking for assistance. I've never dealt with them personally, but as I know my readers enjoy my musings on older novels, I thought I'd pass along their write-up, along with preview pages and some stunning variant covers from today's leading comic artists. Enjoy!

PEARL HARBOR • DUNKIRK • MIDWAY • BATTLE FOR BRITAIN • D-DAY

250+ pages of WWII greatness!

 

We are proud to announce the first COMBAT collection by Sam Glanzman. This includes Pearl Harbor, Dunkirk, Midway, Battle for Britain, and D-Day. Over 250 pages of WWII greatness! Plus, three cover galleries, including all the great retro covers from the 1960's, plus the new variant covers by Dave Dorman, Walter Simonson, Russ Heath, John McCrea, and Russ Braun. We also included all the essays, old and new, about WWII and Sam Glanzman. We currently have 41 backers, and we need 80 more backers to raise $5000, so we can print and ship this 250+ hardcover collection, and we are asking $40 per book. We also have hard covers available for $60, signed by Sam Glanzman's widow, Sue Glanzman.

We really need your support to get these comics by Glanzman collected, and out to a larger audience through book (not just comic book) distribution. We hope you will grab a copy of the COMBAT HC collection. And please spread the word to anyone you think would be interested in supporting war comics and/or Sam Glanzman. Thank you so much!

To add a little context, Sam Glanzman, a WWII veteran, enjoyed a long career in comics. In addition to Combat for Dell, he also worked on GI Combat and Sgt Rock for DC, and Semper Fi for Marvel.

 

Also very cool: he drew a four-part adaptation of Irwin Allen's movie Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea! 

I have no connection with It's Alive, and cannot vouch for their products, service, or reliability. Still, if you're a fan of any of those classic series, you might enjoy contributing to this project, and seeing Glanzman's WWII stories.
