    No "Corpse On The Imjin" by Harvey Kurtzman?!?! Surely one of the greatest WWII comics EVER. Or "White Devil Yellow Devil" by Robert Kanigher(?) and Alex Toth?!

    Also the collected Maus we know today isn't technically an underground comic;of course Spiegleman came from the underground scene but it's first serialisation was in Raw, the ground-breaking comix anthology that was at the birth of the "alternative/art" comics movement, the "next step" on from the gratuitous taboo-breaking of most UG comics. The first, condensed Maus short story appeared in the UG comic Funny Aminals (yes, that is the right spelling!), not The National Lampoon.

    Commando For Action and Adventure, formerly known as Commando War Stories in Pictures,
    and colloquially known as Commando Comics, are a series of British comic books that primarily
    draw their themes and backdrops from the various incidents of the World Wars I and II.
