</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">One of the few places you'd see mention of our involvement in Viet Nam before late 1964 was in comic books such as Dell's</span><b style="text-align: start;"> Jungle War Stories. </b><span style="text-align: start;"> This story is from issue #5, October 1963. Art is by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta. The cover is most likely by Vic Prezio</span></div>
<span style="text-align: start;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">You'll note these are the days before the two most iconic pieces of machinery of the war--the UH-1 helicopter and the M-16 rifle. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The demographic that would instantly think of a rather nasty beer when hearing COLT .45 probably would not be reading this, so we'll assume you know that Colt .45 (also known as The Colt Cousins) was an American Western series which aired on ABC between October 1957 and September 1960.</div>
Dell produced nine issues of the comic (3 under the Four Color numbering). This story is from issue #4, February 1960 and was drawn by John Ushler.<br />

This story is from issue #5, October 1963. Art is by Maurice Whitman and Vince Colletta. The cover is most likely by Vic Prezio<br />

For some reason, the Ghost Who Walks has been shown with a red costume in some parts of the world, instead of the purple we have seen for 70 or 80 years.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">One of my favorite parts of the old NATIONAL LAMPOON magazine (before it sucked, say before 1978) was the Vaughn Bode comic strip CHEECH WIZARD. You can find all those old NatLamps scanned on DVD fairly cheaply..but Cheech made some appearances in underground comix as well</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nQJFCzEpZrE/VXXVUdocRGI/AAAAAAAAhJw/oCQRmrZh5Ak/s1600/2226023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nQJFCzEpZrE/VXXVUdocRGI/AAAAAAAAhJw/oCQRmrZh5Ak/s320/2226023.jpg" width="190" /></a></div>
<br />
Published in 1964, THE SHADOWERS is an odd duck for the action/spy/thriller genre, because there isn't a whole lot of any of that. It's a love story, or more accurately,a lack of love story. Helm's character is more defined now, and he is someone unlikeable. His whole motivation for doing this work seems to be he just doesn't like anything---new cars, fancy guns, women wearing pants. he's a worse curmudgeon than me, and he's supposedly only around 40 (although that time line is starting to unravel).<br />
I can't reveal too much of this book, since it would take away some of the enjoyment for a potential reader. 50 years on, this is still a "page turner", and I use that phrase believing it is used way too often. The twists keep right on turning, right until the last sentence.<br />
You'll find yourself thinking "why do I care what happens to this jerk?" and then you realise this isn't a "hero overcomes adversity" tale like so many modern action tales. It is a given that Matt will survive, at least for 30 or so novels.There is little suspense. There is not much of the gadgetry found in this series either--the only guns used in this one are a cheap .22 and a .38 revolver. Matt eschews fancy cars. He drives someone else's Renault in this one (although he admires another character's Austin Healey). Also missing are romantic exotic locales--The Shadowers takes place in Pensacola, Florida mostly. What we do have is a great tale of asocial operative and SOB Matt Helm taking stock at all the collateral damage that happens around him.<br />
It's a shame a serious cinematic version never materialized. But then, this stuff is not for everyone. But a lot of my reading friends would like it.<br />

This was made into an action comedy starring Dean Martin, but other than a few names and plot elements, it couldn't be further removed.<br />

Shadowy government assassin Helm is once again sent to do his dirty work, and we're treated to an up close tutorial-like action sequence right in the beginning.From there Matt traipses across the southwest landscape with a self inflicted burden in tow--a psychologically damaged female agent. Helm is his usual cynical, emotionless scumbag... but one who can get the tough job done--jobs we pretend out government doesn't need done.<br />
My only complaint is that I sense some ret-conning of the original timeline going on.<br />
