    William M. Tuttle, Jr

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1995

  • Description

    Most American children on the home front during the Second World War saw the enemy only in newsreels and the pages of Life Magazine, but from Pearl Harbor on, “the war”–with its blackouts, air raids, and government rationing–became a dramatic presence in all of their lives. Tuttle tells of one twelve year old boy who strode into an Arizona recruiting office and declared, “I don’t need my mother’s consent…I’m a midget.”) Former home front children recall as though it were yesterday the pain of saying good-bye, perhaps forever, to an enlisting father posted overseas and the sometimes equally unsettling experience of a long-absent father’s return.

    Bill Mauldin ; edited by Todd DePastino

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st Fantagraphics Books ed, Fantagraphics, 2008

  • Description

    Presenting the complete WWII cartoons of Bill Mauldin, the greatest cartoonist of the Greatest Generation. During WW II, the closest most Americans ever came to the “real war” was through the cartoons of Bill Mauldin, the most beloved enlisted man in the U.S. Army. After wading ashore with his division on the first of its four beach invasions in July 1943, Mauldin and his men changed?and Mauldin’s cartoons changed accordingly. Willie & Joe will contain an introduction and running commentary by DePastino, providing context for the drawings, pertinent biographical details of Mauldin’s life, and occasional background on specific cartoons (such as the ones that made Patton howl).
