Buddies of the U.S. Army

A short-lived but charming slice of Cold War-era Americana, Buddies of the U.S. Army was a two-issue series from Avon Periodicals, published in 1952 and 1953. Featuring the dependable art of Mort Lawrence throughout its run, the comic offered lighthearted, patriotic tales of camaraderie and adventure set within the military. While brief, it stands as a modest artifact of the genre's post-war popularity, capturing the era's idealized view of soldierly life.
