Design of the Week--Don Winslow of the Navy

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
Today, it's Don Winslow of the Navy, with Old Glory flying proudly behind him and a banner with John Paul Jones' famous quote below him.
It's a perfect Memorial Day gift for the WWII or Korea veteran in your life, kitschy, yet patriotic, and there are few of the Greatest Generation who didn't read the inspiring multi-media (comics, movies, radio, novels) star during that period!

PLUS: A Free bonus from us to you: downloadable mp3s of the Don Winslow of the Navy dramatic radio show!

Design of the Week--Contact Comics Celebrates the END of World War II

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week, one of many 1940s comic book covers celebrating the end of World War II.
It's Contact Comics #8 by L B Cole, an absolutely magnificent poster-style design showing aviators of numerous nations that's well-suited for use on t-shirts, mugs, and other collectibles!
And since it's non-violent, it's perfect on our baby / toddler wear as well!

WWII Comic Book Cover Tributes to Aviators

Comic books played a major part in shaping the public's impression of both our troops and our enemies during World War II.
Among the classiest were these three beautiful covers for Contact Comics, an aviation-oriented title. Spectacular, intense, eye-catching color highlights these poster-style pieces of art.
Each one paid honor to the aviation division of one of the three armed forces branches. (The Air Force as a separate branch didn't come about until after WWII)

Tribute to the Navy Air Corps featuring F6F Hellcat fighters.

Tribute to the Army Air Force featuring B-24 Liberator heavy bombers.

Tribute to the Marine Air Corps featuring F4U Corsair fighters.

We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ have digitally-restored and remastered them on a line of kool kollectibles which would make perfect Memorial Day, Flag Day, or 4th of July gifts for the WWII veteran in your life.
Choose from t-shirts, mugs, magnets, BBQ aprons, and many other goodies.
(And have a look at the other World War II collectibles we offer at War: Past, Present & Future™ while you're at it!)
