Blazing Combat at the top of the list. Like so many of Warren's magazines--picked up where it's EC roots (Frontline Combat and Two-Fisted Tales) left off, but revolutionized various genre storytelling in the process. Unashamedly free to explore reality in whatever artistic way the title desired, the criminally short-lived Blazing Combat focused on the grim cost of war, how it shattered emotion and sometimes sanity. Considering when the magazine was created/published, it was a breakthrough in Western war comics---there were no simple morality plays (which many of Marvel's war comics of the same period tended to play out), and most telling of all, none of the all too typical--

"War is Hell, but we gotta keep fightin', boys! Weekin' win 'dis thing!!"

--kind of dialogue (and the storytelling that encouraged it) that was still overflowing (with force) in American media's post-World War Two myth-making / clean the filth of reality mode that presented soldiers as largely "good guys" who suffer no moral / ideological conflict from within or at the government they served, because at the end of the day, they were right, just because. Blazing Combat--in its few issues--challenged many of those manufactured perceptions, even beyond what the only other serious (as a growth process) mainstream war comic--DC's great Our Army at War--tackled.

Being a product of the 1960s, 1965-1966 to be precise--before the majority of the American public was allowed to know what was really happening in Vietnam, this magazine dared to take audiences to that darkness, human failing and the aforementioned filth that was not sanctioned by U.S. media companies, showing that this was no parade, or TV weekly drama (of the Combat! variety) that largely ended well. Again, this was a breakthrough magazine--honestly, revolutionary for its era and frankly--beyond.
