Remembered as one of the most important war comics artists in American history, Russ Heath had a sobering view of the subject he spent so much time illustrating. 'War is ugly. If you've been forced to do war stories, you want to do one that shows war for what it really is,' he told the Comics Journal in 1987. 'This is the message I wanted to get across to the kids. War is not Sgt. Rock running across the battle ground, bopping people with his fist, and nobody getting hurt.
' Heath joined the Air Force in early 1945, and was still in training by the time the war ended. This period in his life would have a lasting impact on his work. Heath did notable war comics work for publishers including DC Comics, EC Comics and Marvel/Atlas.
