A memorial to the horses and mules that served during the Civil War stands in front of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. The bronze statue, known as "The War Horse", was designed by Tessa Pullan of Rutland, England, and given to the historical society by Paul Mellon. It was dedicated on September 17, 1997.

It's not just about the "weird" on the WWP. It's also about the art.

I recently found "Images of War: The Artist's Vision of World War II". (selected and edited by Ken McCormick and Hamilton Darby Perry) from 1990 in a used bookstore cheap. A truly international collection (one that represents some 200 artists from a dozen countries including the Soviet Union), this volume offers a highly charged look at the harshness of war as never before. Mental and unprecedented, Images of War is a stunningly powerful record of war as portrayed by artists. Throughout World War II, from Europe to Africa to the Pacific, artists committed to paper or canvas their unique impressions of the epochal events of which they were a part. These highly personal artworks from all the combatant nations, and most never before published, convey the human meaning of armed conflict in a way that no other medium can. Some of the artists were commissioned by their governments to record important campaigns, while others just felt the need to express their own visions of the war. Only a few were or would become famous. All, however, created their art out of firsthand experience. International in scope, the book includes some 75 artists from 14 countries-chosen from among the thousands and thousands of artworks hanging in museums and tucked away in archives. Of special note are nearly 50 paintings from the Soviet Union, most never before available to the West. Throughout, the art is married to a carefully chosen text of excerpted eyewitness accounts that complement the immediacy of the potent images. In an era where history is recorded, shaped, and transmitted with electronic efficiency and mechanical coldness, Images of War reveals human truths about warfare that can only be expressed through the eye and hand of the artist. I'm only in 1940 and can tell this is already a keeper.

We were thinking about waiting until the channel caught up to the show before making the big announcement, but why wait? Summer can be boring. If you're one of those people that prefers listening to Youtube while doing odd jobs around the house over plugging into a podcast server, your dreams have come true! Start from the beginning, all over again!

This is the YouTube HQ for the Weird Warriors Podcast! Hosted by Max and Rich, this podcast focuses on the "Weird War Tales" series published by DC Comics from 1971 to 1983! We also go off on the occasional "Special Mission" to check out other War and/or Horror themed comics along the way!
