Description

In "Tide!," Kurtzman tells the story of the unsung heroes known as the Navy combat demolition men, the troops who came in on the morning of D-Day to attempt to clear a path on the beach for the Allies who would soon follow. The work had to be done while the tide was out, since that was when the German mines were exposed. It was a very dangerous job (amidst very dangerous jobs) and one I had absolutely no knowledge of. Hats off to Harvey for this particular history lesson. Blink and you'll miss the EC career of perhaps the greatest war comics artist of all time, Joe Kubert. According to Bill Schelly, in his excellent biography of Kubert, Man of Rock (Fantagraphics, 2008), Joe found working with the EC writer "frustrating, because Kurtzman expected the penciller to stick strictly to the predetermined layouts as provided." (We've already noted that George Evans felt the same way.) Joe would only work on two more stories for the company. "Tide!" is a ground breaker for Kubert, though, because it was his first toe in the water of a field he would revolutionize a few years later. Kubert's work is sketchy here, not the refined and powerful pencils we'd almost take for granted once he hit his stride with Sgt. Rock.

Great story, thanks for sharing Jimmy. What a phenomenal writer & storyteller Kurtzman was. The images and dialogue flow in a classic and timeless manner.
