PS Magazine Collection (1951 to 2019)
Each edition of PS Magazine featured a color comic book-style cover, often created and illustrated by Will Eisner; the center featured eight complete pages of four-color comic narrative, while the remaining sections featured technical, safety, and policy information printed in two colors to reduce costs. "Joe's Dope Sheet" was the title of the continuity narrative, which featured his previous character. Every episode presents a consistent cautionary narrative: a soldier who neglects preventive maintenance ultimately recognizes its significance. Eisner exercised significant creative autonomy in developing the continuity section, employing his vibrant comic style to engage the reader. PS Magazine was published between 1951 and 2019 with a total of 804 published magazines.
