This is issue #3 of The Living Bible. Three of the chaplains have Christian insignia on their collars; one has Jewish insignia.  |

Here's a link to the story memorialized in the cover posted by Rob Allen :https://armyhistory.org/no-greater-glory-the-four-chaplains-and-the-sinking-of-the-usat-dorchester/ I remember their story from the book in school we used to call our "reader," as in third grade reader and so on. Very different from the usual LB Cole covers... |

One of the things I like about the contest is it introduces me to artists I've never heard of. Case in point L.B. Cole. Are there collections of his art in trade form?

This one includes his 1943-47 work. Check Amazon for more. I have and LOVE a great reference book showcasing his work, Black Light: The World of L B Cole |

With LB Cole, a LOT of his work was covers (and definitely his best work was) and a number of the comics he did covers for contained reprints of previous years' issues. So for a real complete visual reference of his cover work, as well as some amazing wildlife drawings he did in hunting magazines during the peak of his career, Black Light showcases images of them all! |

He hasn't been around for awhile, but our member Pmpknface provided a lot of the scans used in Black Light, as he's well known for his massive L.B.Cole collection. Many years ago now I had a chance to visit his home and look through his box of Cole comics, and I know he's acquired a ton more since then.

Cole was at a show I went to once--I wish I'd known more about him at the time. IIRC, he drove in w/ Joe Staton. (My son was about 6 at the time went around and had people autograph the poster.)  |

Man, those were the days: a comic con held in a high school, admission costs a buck, and you get to see Walt & Louise Simsonson, Terry Austin, Joe Staton, Fred Hembeck, Mike Kaluta, Berni f-in Wrightson...

Despite the garish black light color scheme, Cole also knew his aircraft of the day-- those are pretty good renderings of Curtiss Helldivers. Lots of his airplane renderings are rather accurate by comic book standards. Contact Comics #6, Aviation Press, May 1945 |
