Owner's Description

War Report #4 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on page 94.

On page 94 Wagner describes several war themed comics and uses the story “Cross of Courage” from War Report #4 as an example of how religious themes are presented in war comics. He describes the story as follows “The Church, meanwhile, in these war comics also ‘talks turkey’ (as a nun puts it, speaking of His Holiness the Pope, in a recent propaganda film); War Report for March 1953 kicks off with the story of a padre who learns that might is right and who at the end brings a sword, not peace, with a vengeance. Chaplain James Tucker at first hates carnage but in the last pictures he hurls a grenade, shouting ‘The Lord is my shepherd’ and cracks a commie on the skull with his rifle-butt (‘YAGHH!) remarking, ‘And the Lord has a long arm, my erring brother!’
