D-Day 75th Anniversary "Part 6: Beachhead"

...one thing about this serial, unlike many other tellings of this tale, is the "warts and all" accuracy that doesn't "sugar-coat" the story!
Rendered by George Evans, with assists by other "Fleagle Gang" artists on various panels, this never-reprinted backup from Gilberton's World Around Us #32 (1961) has nothing to do with the book's lead features about "For Gold & Glory", the Spanish conquest of Central America and Mexico!

D-Day 75th Anniversary "Part 4: Night Drop"

...while I'm less than impressed with the rather elementary scripting, I'm really digging the meticulously-detailed George Evans artwork!
Though Gilberton's World Around Us #30 (1961) was subtitled "Undersea Adventures", this chapter of the D-Day serial obviously had nothing to do with the issue's theme!

D-Day 75th Anniversary "Part 2: Target Normandy"

...though I'm not enthralled with the unknown writer's simplistic style, it does get the point across!
Rendered by George Evans, though Marie Severin redrew several of the faces to make them look more "on model" to the real-life people shown, this never-reprinted backup from Gilberton's World Around Us #28 (1960) has nothing to do with the book's lead features about "The Illustrated Story of Whaling"!
