The 4th of July is coming! Celebrate with Don Winslow!

Perhaps the first comic strip to be created as a military recruiting tool, Don Winslow U.S.N. was launched in 1934 to encourage enlistments in the U.S. Navy, which at that point had reached an all-time low.
A clean-cut role model for American Youth, Don battled spies, saboteurs, and criminals on the home front, and even made brief forays to both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of war!

The strip proved to be a big success, not only improving Naval enlistments, but launching a series of novels, comic book series from several publishers, a dramatic radio show, and two movie serials (Don Winslow of the Navy and Don Winslow of the Coast Guard)!
Don finally retired from service in 1955.

Atomic Kommie Comics™ has returned Don Winslow to active duty as part of the War: Past, Present & Future™ line's enhanced World War II section of classic cover art collectibles which also includes Women of World War II and Aviators.
Any of the shirts, fridge magnets, mugs, or other kool kollectibles in these series would make fun retro-style 4th of July gifts for the veteran in your life!
(I sent a set of all four Don Winslow mugs to my Dad, a retired swabbie! He loved them!)

A Free pre-4th of July bonus from us to you: downloadable mp3s of the Don Winslow dramatic radio show!

Flag Day!

Yes, I know it's a 48-star flag, but this World War II-era banner was such a nifty image (with the Pledge, no less), that I couldn't resist using it!
And, while we're on the subject of the flag, you might want to take a look at our Flag-Draped Heroes, with one cover each on kool kollectibles, as well as patriotic heroes with more than one cover available like Captain Courageous, The Fighting Yank, The Unknown Soldier, and V-Man!
(And, if you order now, you'll have them in time for the 4th of July without paying rush charges!)
