5.0 out of 5 stars A very good collection, 11 Oct 2009
By Empe (Italy) - See all my reviews
of cover art by war comic books. A bath in the time for "old boys" with also in the memory some classic comics, "made" by heroes, simple warriors, sacrifice and blood depicted with "simple plot" histories on WW2.
