Review
Adam Grano's bold design cover design is the perfect complement to Fantagraphics' comprehensive collection... with a stellar team of artists that included Frank Frazetta, Wally Wood, John Severin, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Gene Colan. It's remarkable how little these stories have aged, as many cover thematic ground that resonates to this day.... Even the more straightforward "war comics" that are presented in this volume have an unusual gravitas that fits naturally over the proceedings, making the stories collected stand out, and the interviews with Archie Goodwin and Jim Warren provide an in-depth and fascinating look at the pressures that the controversial comic magazine faced. -- Kevin Church
Packed with gloriously miserable... war stories covering everything from the battle of Thermopylae to Vietnam... all beautifully captured by comics legends like Archie Goodwin, Alex Toth, Joe Orlando, and Gene Colan in appropriately murky grays... Fantagraphics has slapped together a nice, hefty... hardbound collection that's worth a read, whether you're a comic nerd, war buff, one-legged veteran, or one of those snooty I-only-read-graphic-novels types. -- Jonah Spangenthal-Lee
[F]eatures a collection of some of the most beautiful black and white comic art you have ever seen... It also features interviews and some of the most beautiful printing I have seen. Honestly, put down those monthly comics for a week and buy something you will enjoy a lifetime. From cover to cover, this book is what keeps me in comics. -- Jimmy Palmiotti
[O]nce again, I'm engaged in Blazing Combat. What a thrill! And the art!... Highly recommended. Don't argue! Just buy it! -- David McDonnell
This collection of the 1965-66 Blazing Combat war comic magazine is a stellar publication... It's a master class on how to tell a short story, and I highly recommend checking it out. -- Sandy Bilus
Astounding...The art is reproduced from 'the original printer's films,' so the work is clear and detailed, with the washes and shading providing depth and a feeling of realism...The stories are still timely. -- Johanna Draper Carlson
Blazing Combat's...issues constitute a high-water mark of the war-comics genre. -- Gordon Flagg
Although the subject matter is bleak, the presentation it's been given is beautiful. This is as good as war comics get. -- Rob Lott
Each panel is a stunning work of art, beautifully preserved on heavy paper. Just as relevant as when they were first published, the stories should still draw an emotional reaction. -- Rachelle Goguen
