War Comics #1 (1940)

If you're a collector of rare comics, you've probably already heard of War Comics #1 from way back in 1940. But if you haven't, allow me to introduce you to the first ever War themed comic book published! The iconic cover may not show the planes that are inside, but that doesn't detract from the amazing artwork and storytelling waiting for you within its pages.

One of the standout stories in this book is Scoop Mason: War Correspondent by Alan Blane. It's an 8-page tale about a journalist covering the events of the war, which is packed with action and drama. And we can't forget Sky Hawk by Ralf Stone and Tom Hickey either! This 8-page story follows three fighter pilots as they navigate tricky situations in China, despite the fact that the US and Japan were not yet at war.

These are just a couple of the stories you'll find in War Comics #1, which also includes comedic bits, news accounts and even a submarine strength feature!
