Here you go Carl. Here is one. I did not know he did the Playboys Little Annie Fannie cartoon. Yowza.



Russell Heath, Jr. (born September 29, 1926, New York City, New York) is an American artist best known for his comic book work — particularly his DC Comics war stories for several decades and his 1960s art for Playboy magazine's Little Annie Fanny featurettes — and for his commercial art, two pieces of which, depicting Roman and Revolutionary War battle scenes for toy soldier sets, became highly familiar bits of Americana after gracing the back covers of countless comic books from the early 1960s to early '70s.

Heath's drawing of a fighter jet being blown up, in DC Comics' All American Men of War #89 (Feb. 1962), was the basis for pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's 1962 oil painting Blam.

I think Russ Heath is great. A huge chunk of my youth was spent reading my two older brother's war comic books. Sgt Rock, Haunted Tank, Unknown Soldier, Blitzkrieg, Wierd War all were great with great art. Mr. Heath was a big part of that. Cheers to a great artist!

I remember Sgt Rock but had forgotten about the Haunted Tank. I read them when I visited my cousins. They had more disposable income than did this farm boy.
