'Psyche', 1978. Barry Windsor-Smith....Whose artwork on Marvel's 'Conan The Barbarian' Stories originated my passion for Art Nouveau. This painting was a Gorblimey Press release. I remember it as a hot item at Comic Conventions worldwide. I have one of his posters from 73. It was originally signed and numbered for 4.50. Theyre worth about a grand these days.
Mai Ky, wife of Nguyen Cao Ky,1966 Her Hub was Premier of VN To President Nugyen Van Thieu, until the fall of the South Viet Namese Republic.That Pistol and belt were real enough....Ive heard it said she could shoot.
And for Kristy, who mentioned an interest....here's a Rosie assembling a turret on a bomber production line....and say what anyone will( and don't say negative things about them in front of me) ....these ladies were warriors, too.
'Bless em All'
This is An Army Nurse, Viet Nam era, maybe 1970....The uniform and shotgun are borrowed, probably just for the pic. I knew a fair number of GI Nurses fairly well at the time....and not one of them would have been caught in-country wearing a uniform not their own. It could have gotten this gal killed, if she was captured....
Still....The Ladies were a Fine group and did more than their share for the GIs in Combat.
