Celebrate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day...by Reading Comics/Graphic Novels!

TEN-HUT!!!
It's the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allies, led by America, invaded Fortress Europa...
...and we at War: Past Present and Future , along with our fellow RetroBlogs, Hero Histories and Atomic Kommie Comics, have presented numerous graphic tales of that epic day, beginning with Marvel's Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos hitting the beach on D-Day!
Yes, it was reprinted in a Marvel Masterworks over a decade ago, but those are extremely-expensive and didn't sell very well, so most of you have never seen this tale from over a half century ago!
It was really crowded at Normandy on June 6th, 1944 since Blackhawk and his team were also there, so it's only fair we present their never-reprinted D-Day adventure...which also doubles as their previously-unrevealed origin...at Hero Histories!
The EC Comics crew, best known for sci-fi and horror, also did a story about D-Day...by three ex-military personnel as seen HERE!
And one of their crew, who served in the Merchant Marine before becoming a paratrooper, did this tale  about our paratroopers on D-Day...
Our "parent" RetroBlog, AtomicKommie Comics, joined in with both a brief three-pager...
...and a multi-part retelling courtesy of Gilberton, the publisher behind Classics Illustrated and World Around Us!
Enjoy, and if you have a friend or family member who's a D-Day veteran, tell him "Thank You" for us!
Dis-missed!
