We start today with something near brilliant-Bolero-a violent, telling and sadly accurate NSFW multi-strip historical pageant from Italy’s MIlo Manara, apparently done as a lead up to the turn of the century a decade ago.

Speaking of brilliant, few deny that the term applies to the late Alex Toth. Toth did only a few stories for EC Comics and here we have his “F-86 Sabre Jet” written by Harvey Kurtzman and featuring fascinating annotations from Toth years later.

Spectergirl shares a couple of Charlton ghost stories by Joe Gill, the always underrated Rocke Mastroserio and the ever-popular Steve Ditko.

Finally today, here’s one of my all-time favorite Silver Age Marvel issues for Memorial Day featuring Captain America and Bucky teaming up in World War II with Sgt. Fury & His Howling Commandos from issue 13 of that title by Lee , Kirby and Ayers.
