Weird War Tales #8: "Thou Shalt Not Kill!"
Download Weird War Tales #08
I loved Weird War Tales back in the 1970s as it combined two of my favorite genres: war and horror. Of course, it can easily be argued that war is horror, but I mean horror in the occult and mystical sense. Weird War Tales had a lot of dud stories, but I found it worth the effort to wade through these to find the gems. Those gems were usually written by Jack Oleck and drawn by Alen Nino, but this time out we're treated to a story that's written by Steve Harper and drawn by Neal Adams called "Thou Shalt Not Kill!'"Adams also drew the cover. I have most if not all of the first 50 or so issues of Weird War Tales, so I'll be uploading more as time permits.
Wow - thanks for the Weird War Tales. I had a handful of these comics when I was a kid and trying to revisit those times with tracking down some of these copies. I wasn't sure if there was anything on the web about them. Any chance of posting any more?? These really bring back memories and I am looking to buy a few hardocopy versions once I figure out which issues have the stories I really want to revisit. The parallel time duel between caveman and modern soldiers for a watering hole was one of my favorites of all time. My best guess is this is #35 with a story called the Invaders. Also looking for the Moon is the Murderer. Love this stuff. Thanks again.
