Warfront #38 (1966), story page 2 by Roussos

It really gave them a more aggressive look and made them more legendary than the other squadrons.  Comics like this just furthered their reputation nd exploits.

Thanks for the bit of history on the 'Flying Sharks'!

Indeed! Tigers over nasty sharks. Thanks, Miki! 

You just don't hear "caught a dilly right on the nozzle" enough these days ;)

Wonderful page Peter!

Thanks, Rick. Holy cat! Fun to see old colloquialisms in these pages,

Great page! And I had no idea about the history of the Shark Squadron and how the P-40s got that Tiger Shark style painted intakes area, iconic war planes for sure. thanks for sharing the info!

Thanks, Kavi! Tiger sharks!

Great War page Peter and lots of interesting info on the Flying Tigers! My knowledge of them is mostly limited to cartoonist Bert Christman's involvement with them. He took over Scorchy Smith after Noel Sickles but left the strip to join the Navy and eventually volunteered for the Flying Tigers. He would paint the noses of the planes and personalize them for the different pilots. Unfortunately he was shot down and killed by Japanese pilots in combat. Frank Robbins was recruited to take over the strip after Christman's departure to the Navy. 
Thanks for noting the letterer of the page too! They did a great job mimicking Ben Oda's sfx lettering style from the great EC war books. 

Wow! Thanks, Chris! Great comments and observations! I think he was the first, and perhaps only, comic/strip artist to die in combat during the war. We are incredibly fortunate tank driver Nick Cardy, infantryman Jack Kirby, and sailor Sam Glanzman, among others on the frontline, survived combat.

I always loved those planes withthe noses painted as sharks. This is a pretty killer looking page, by the way, and a very pleasant surprise, given the fact that Roussos ended up spending most of his career as a colorist!

Great page layout that carries the excitement of this sequence. Like everyone else, I love the Tiger Shark design. It is iconic!

Thanks for sharing this here with us. 

I can't decide if this is more a Dilly or a Doozie!

Hahaha! Thanks, Mark!
