Title
Our Fighting Forces, no. 10
Description
This issue of Our Fighting Forces features a cover and story by Charles "Jerry" Grandenetti, one of the iconic war comics artists of the 1950s and 1960s. Indeed, some of Grandenetti's work in the 1960s would be used by Pop Art painter Roy Lichtenstein in his 1962 work Jet Pilot. This issue's "Grenade Pitcher" story puts the reader in the shoes of a World War II soldier, who uses his skill as baseball pitcher to hurl grenades at Nazi tanks. As demonstrated by the dynamic cover here, the story asks the reader to identify with the athletic protagonist.
