Cover by Jack Binder. Stories and art by Bill Parker, Ed Smalle and Sven Elven. Nickel Comics was an experiment by Fawcett - half as thick as their typical comics, costing half as much, and coming out twice as often. The experiment didn't last, but the star character did; "police scientist" Jim Barr creates a bullet-shaped helmet that grants him flight and makes him bulletproof, and the superhero Bulletman is born. Rescued from Africa in infancy, Bill returns as a man to find his long-lost brother Steve; the reunited brothers become known as the Jungle Twins. Aided by his raven Hugin and his Golden Hand of Abraxas, Warlock the Wizard fights to save a young woman from the vampire Baron Gath.

1st printing. Written by Steve White. Art by Jerrold Spahn. On the quiet, sunny morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy in Oahu, Hawaii, designed to crush and render helpless American forces in the Pacific region. Rather than crush the U.S. fighting spirit, the American public, outraged by the assault—yet previously divided over America's role in the overseas conflict—rallied in support of the government's decision to enter WWII against Japan.

PEARL HARBOR: THE COMIC BOOK #1 (Families of Altered War #86) by Ted Nomura AP Core Title! On December 7th, 1941, a combined Imperial Japanese Navy air force attacked Hawaii, with devastating results. The disaster propelled and united America into total retaliation that resulted in the atomic holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And yet, most of us have only seen the tip of the iceberg on the voyage that led to Pearl Harbor. In recognition of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the event, and based on newly discovered and declassified information, Pearl Harbor: The Comic Book will present the most accurate account of these events to date, adding the lesser-known stories. Written and drawn by Luftwaffe/World War II/Kamikaze: 1946 artist Ted Nomura, whose family fought on the Japanese side, and is a serving member in the U.S. armed forces. This situation gives him the unique opportunity of a non-biased view of this important chapter in U.S. history. Part 1 will cover the road that led to the destruction of the battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, while Part 2 will cover the tragedy that followed. No fictional characters will be used in this special true-to-history edition, because truth is indeed stranger than fiction!
