LEGION OF THE DAMNED!World War Two has long been a recurring theme in popular culture.Its grand scale, themes, and emotions offered rich inspiration for authors, who readily provided the public with tales of fearless heroes, diabolical enemies, and enduring love.This book reviews 170+ of books, comics and pulp magazines that used the setting of war, providing information and opinion on their entertainment value and historical importance.From pioneering pulp heroes such as The Operator and Lone Eagle, to comic icons such as Sgt Rock and The Unknown Soldier, to the cynical and ultra-violent paperbacks of the 1970s from Sven Hassel and Leo Kessler.Fully illustrated with 200+ reproductions of paperbacks and comics.
