bill mauldin: up front

site member tbuckner was kind enough to send me a wonderful, hardback, 1945 edition of a book called up front by a recently deceased cartoonist named bill mauldin. the book is about the infantry in world war two, in which maudlin served. he offers lot’s of insight into the life and days of an infantryman, but as he states himself, “my business is drawing, not writing, and the text is pretty much background for the drawings.” and it’s chock full of his evocative and funny/sad one panel comics. i thought i’d share a few of them with everyone











hope you enjoyed. thanks tom!
