Honoring Bob Toomey, born on this day in 1945!

Robert Emmett Toomey, Jr. was born in Hartford, CT. He is also one of those odd creators in this day and age where surprisingly little can be found about his history online. We haven't had a "new" creator post in months and this what we get...

He wrote stories for Action Comics, Green Lantern, House of Mystery, Secrets of the Haunted House, The Superman Family, The Unexpected, Unknown Soldier, Weird War Tales, Welcome Back Kotter, Wonder Woman and Young Love.

He also wrote stories under the pseudonym "Gary Null" while working for Warren Publishing, where he wrote for Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella.

Bob's work appears in two issues of Weird War Tales.

All-American Men of War 74, Episode 91

Two renegade AI minds simply want to make conversation—not war! When a bipedal, independent robot soldier makes a unique connection with an injured, flying drone, they flee the warzone they’re in to seek lives of their own. Their military builders want to destroy them while a sympathetic pair of humans try what they can to free the errant ’bots from military service!

Coming to you from Battleship Cove, Fall River MA!

The last time I was here was right after I came home from Basic Training in 2012. The battleship Massachusetts is star of the show, with the destroyer Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., submarine Lionfish, and PT boats in support roles. By luck of the draw, it was WWII weekend, and the grounds were full of reenactors. As a happy side note, Sam Glanzman's "A Sailor's Story" was seen in the gift shop.

Enjoy your holiday, folks. New episode this week!

Coming to you from Coventry CT, and the Nathan Hale Homestead!

Famously, Nathan Hale was 21 years old when executed by hanging for spying against the British in 1776. His body was discarded and never recovered. A massive cenotaph at a nearby cemetery honors his sacrifice.

You are not forgotten...

1862: by Robert Conroy

The Civil War comes alive in all its passion and fury–only now the Brits are fighting . . . alongside the Confederacy

Outraged when the U.S. Navy seizes three Confederates aboard an English sailing ship, Britain retaliates by entering the fray in support of the Rebels–and suddenly it’s a whole new war.

Once again, cotton is king as the North’s blockade crumbles before the might of the Royal Navy. While Lincoln confronts the monumental challenge of vanquishing mighty Britannia, the Redcoats revive their 1812 penchant for burning down American cities, and Union troops see Canada as ripe for the picking. From the Mississippi bayou to the Pennsylvania farmlands to the woods of Maine, the great armies of Generals Grant and Lee face off in the nation’s deadliest conflict. And to the victor goes history.

In reality, cooler heads prevailed in the aftermath of the Trent Affair. But... what if...
