Jeez, I feel horrible reading all this cool stuff. All I ever had was Richy Rich and The Archies.

What? No Little Lulu or Hot Stuff? Not even Uncle Scrooge?

For me, it was Sgt. Fury, Sgt. Rock, G.I. Combat around the early to mid 60's. I believe around 64 or 65, a really cool short lived series appeared called M.A.R.S. Patrol Total War. I was living in India at the time when the series appeared, and read the first two comics in the series, and then could not find any more. Really enjoyed Total War

I have a bunch of G.I. Combat and Weird War, too. I tend toward the war books because they usually contain complete stories and not serials. This is gettin' bad, quick.

I just looked up M.A.R.S. Patrol Total War, the 'bay has bunches of them!

...I know Darren!

Wiki has a nice summary about the M.A.R.S. Patrol series:

My imagination ran wild with this comic, as I thought, how easy (during this period in time possibly) it would have been for an unknown invading force to invade the USA, have gas stations, natural gas/oil, food, distribution centers conveniently located for their utilization during a strike.

Always thought this would have made an interesting movie series, especially with todays special effects capabilities...
