Desert Peach (2009 Fine Line Press) 2nd Edition comic books 1970 or later

2nd Edition. "A Day at the Beach" by Donna Barr. The Peach uses a recent prisoner, from Hawaii, to talk his high-ranking brother into surfing for submarines. The Afrika Korps -- including Desert Fox Erwin Rommel -- in historically correct Afrika Korps bathing costume -- nothing and their hats. Donna Barr takes on the fear of nudity that is rampant in America by letting another people who is not so immature about the natural and normal take it all off. Sun, sand and coffin-lids; it never got funnier or weirder in the entire series. 36 Pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.

2nd Edition. "Is There a Nazi in the House?" by Donna Barr. The Peach finds out more about his soldiers' background than he wants to. The boys in Berlin are all jealous of the Desert Fox's pull with Hitler. They're coming for a fact-finding and dirt-digging visit. The Desert Peach has to find a genuine Nazi-party member in his unit, ASAP- but that may be easier said than done. Just because a man is wearing boots in the German army doesn't mean he's signed up for Nazi Party health insurance. 36 Pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.

2nd Edition. "A Day Like Any Other" By Donna Barr. A new doctor is assigned to the 469th Half-track, Support and Grave-digging Battalion. In introducing the officer to the men, the Peach discovers the man has a disturbing specialty, and one that may not fit in - unless the Desert Fox's brother thinks fast. The issue includes the worst run of national jokes in the whole of drawn books, for which the author blames her husband. He got off the ferry from work one day with three of them in his head, and promptly infected her. That's her story, and she's sticking to it. 36 Pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.

2nd Edition. "Spoiled Fruit" By Donna Barr. With its black-and-orange cover, originally appeared as a Hallowe'en issue. And what could be more horrifying than the sweet, gentle, patient Peach being totally defeated by his Inner Monster? Corporal Dobermann's meth-based pills get in his tea and the Hellmouth opens right up, for the Peach's battalion, the Afrika Korps, and the British 8th Army. The Hulk's got nothing on this transformation. The author had been playing about with a computer imaging program; the crude machine-like line that results is a perfect representation of a mind and a small society gone off their tracks. 36 Pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.

2nd Edition. "Two-Timers" By Donna Barr. The Desert Peach is a tolerant man. He even tolerates the British soldier he discovers in his unit who has infiltrated in an attempt to assassinate the Desert Fox. But the Peach doesn't leave it be; he scares the spy out of his unit, then puts on a British officer's uniform and hunts down the spy in his own camp -- not to kill him, but to convince him never to try to come back. In the meantime, to keep the Enemy from discovering the 469th is leaderless, Leutnant Winzig is prevailed upon to take on the role of the Peach himself. Who else could take the job? Nobody else is as blond, blue-eyed and long-legged as Winzig, and that's a requirement.. Did you know he doesn't get along with Udo Schmidt? Everybody knew it, but nobody knew it went THIS deep. 36 Pages, B&W. Cover price $3.99.
