BOMB RUN was
lifted from the pages of EC Publishers' TWO-FISTED TALE. It was written by editor Harvey Kurtzman and
illustrated by John Severin and Will Elder.
Here is
something you might not notice unless you are an
EC obsessive
fan: It is known that the writers and artists like to put in inside
private jokes that only they would understand. On the first page of this story the
bottom panel introducing the characters
in this story names the last person as "Gunner Jerry De Fuccio,
"pint-size PFC" from Yonkers, Ny."
Jerry De
Fuccio, the real person was Harvey Kurtzman's assistant and Harvey sent him on
countless research missions, sometimes to a military base and sometimes to the
NYC Public Library. Pint-size? I think that is a private joke that only
Harvey and Jerry know.
