Kanigher's GALLERY OF WAR - Checklist



Following is a list of all 49 known stories published under the banner "Bob Kanigher's Gallery of War" between 1972 and 1982 (if you know of any stories under that banner not listed, please let me know). This list comes courtesy of a search of the Grand Comics Database and information provided by Robin Snyder.

[Some general info on the series available here]

All stories written by Robert Kanigher, of course, art as noted. Story titles will link to write-ups and sample scans of the stories when they're posted. Note that these stories often have twists at the end, which the write-ups might give away.

According to Robin Snyder there's also at least one more story, The Glass Hero, which only exists as an incomplete script. There are also a few published stories which were apparently identified as Galley of War on the scripts but not on the published work (a number of non-series Kanigher/Estrada stories ran in G.I. Combat during this time, but didn't have a logo), or would fit in with the series in general but weren't labeled as such (some of which pre-dated the first labelled GoW story or post-dated the last one). I'll eventually add those to an extra list.

    Thanks for posting. I fondly remember Gallery of War. I wish that DC would publish a Showcase TPB collection of these stories.
