Continuing My Fury and Savage Collection!
Recent pick-up of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos Annual #3. Set in the Vietnam War which was the present day Marvel at the time. Also got Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders #5. A more mundane story involving undercover work dealing with a counterfeiter and Australian collaborator.

The Sargent, The Captain, and The Phantom!
Sgt. Fury #45, Captain Savage #4 and Marvel Super-Heroes #16 to be precise.
The Phantom Eagle was a brand new character set during World War One. It a very Golden Age feel to the story. I don't know if they ever did anything else with the character, but it was cool with them expanding the Marvel Universe to before the Timely era.

Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders!
I started collecting Captain Savage because for some reason it's never been made into a collected edition, which is unfortunate. Besides the Sgt. Fury crossovers, issues 2-4 features the origin of Hydra. Not counting the Westerns, this is the oldest series, set in the Marvel Universe, not be put into a collected works.

Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #44!
Since the collected works of Sgt. Fury end at issue #43, I started collecting the uncollected issues starting with #44.

My Two Newest Issues of Battle!
Issues number 48 and 61.
48 is post-code and 61 post-implosion.
If look in the upper left corner of 61, you will notice the Atlas logo has been replaced by an IND. and the interior stuff is a mish-mash of left-over inventory, including stories intended for Combat Kelly and Combat Casey, and a Joe Maneely story published after his death.

Sgt. Rock doesn't get spooked easily. But him smoking in front of them probably makes them more upset, no?

The End of The Sgt. Fury Collected Editions.
I managed to snipe this on eBay auction. This was the last Masterworks Sgt. Fury volume making issue 43 the last to be collected, with no new collected editions of any format on the horizon.
So if you want to read from issue 44 on, you will have to do it the old fashioned way.

Which series are consider the cream of the crop when it comes to war comics?
I think most would say Two-Fisted Tales, right? Or are there others that are on par or even more highly regarded?
Conversely, which ones are lackluster and not as worthy of a read?
