Description This is page 3 of a short war story collaboration between (story and script) and myself.


Big thanks to for working with me on this. I plan to work on the other 3-4 pages in between my other 'assignments' as I get time.

You could print many emotions about the war in these pages! And your artwork contributed to it too!

Thanks! I'm taking my cue from the old EC War comics, and trying to blend in some accuracy vis a vis the weapons and uniforms. Plus I think drawing rubble inspires me.

Usually every comic page I do takes me about a week, I'll do bits every couple of days. Total time is typically 8-12 hours per.

You capture the subtle beauty of bodies being ripped apart in a hail of gunfire like a latter-day Peckinpah.

I am thinking if we do some more shorts (in different classic genres, like romance, monsters, etc) it would make a neat little minicomic. Thanks!!

Amazing page. Love the action and attention to uniforms and weaponry. My only question is the second to last frame; are those grenades thrown by the germans? I think the reaction in the last panel is making it seem so, maybe it will be apparent on the next page.

Great as usual my friend!

Thanks! The grenades were thrown by the 3 American GIs from the last panel - I think the reaction by the front guy is something like, "oops, maybe we overdid it."

Thanks a bunch! I'm trying to channel some Kurtzman a bit, so I feel the need for semi-accuracy in the WWII details.

This is simply an amazing page. I love how you create textures and the compositions are fantastic.

I'm curious, though. Given the fact that you handletter your work, did you also draw the "Chuka" sound effect as well?

dalgoda7 In reply to cluedog [2013-01-13 16:15:39 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I added that later with Photoshop, as I didn't want to potentially goober up some of the fine lines in the background. Plus, I can change the font if I want.

Thanks as usual for the kind comments!

Thanks, Larry! I think each one of these I do is better than the last, I'm very proud of it!

The next page should be a real "blast"!

Haha, well I am anxiously awaiting the next page. I hope it's not all ego talking, but I think this is the best work you have put out. It's everything you do great all in one place. Take, and store that pride very well.

I will, sir! I was thinking for our next short story collab we could go in a much different direction... maybe a classic romance tale? Like 50's style?

There's plenty of time. I thought it might be fun to follow up the war story with some different classic genre stuff.
