Kirby's comments came off VERY condescending to both his readers and the men who laid the foundation for what was once a great series. I get the feeling he thought he was the only one who served and, as great as he was, that he was the KING! No one had the nerve to tell the KING that he was turning a wonderful, exciting, and involving series into just a plain old train wreck.Peter Enfantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317575598411394944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-44009959848447259152019-06-24T10:46:20.116-07:002019-06-24T10:46:20.116-07:00I wonder if "Rearguard Action" was inspi...I wonder if "Rearguard Action" was inspired by the work of Ernie Pyle and his articles about Italy. Is there no dedication?<br /><br />I have the first US stories by Micheline and Talaoc in the first Showcase Present. I was surprised how grim'n gritty they were. Always considered buying the second volume, but never came to it. Also I was not convinced that they could keep this up.<br /><br />The letters are interesting. Maybe I missed something with the small script, but Kirby comes across more then just a bit condescending. Is he dissing his forerunners on the title?andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.com
