Publisher's Synopsis
Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine published between 1965 and 1966, featuring stories in both contemporary and period settings and focusing first on WWII and the American Civil War before moving on to more controversial Vietnam-based stories. Blazing Combat's comics were remarkable in that they were unified by a humanistic theme of the personal cost of war, rather than by traditional adventure motifs. While writer Archie Goodwin portrayed the conflicts even-handedly, his Vietnam stories caused key distributors to stop selling the title.
