Thanks to Robert for providing me a good link into the Library of Congress for these and many other pics to be displayed later.
By all accounts a life long artist, Howard Brodie has captured sports figures, war events, legal battles and more with his drawing talents. He sketched his way through several wars, from World War II in Guadacanal, the Battle of the Bulge and more, to Korea, French Indochina, and Vietnam. As best I can tell, he is still alive and, hopefully, drawing at his home in San Miguel, California. He is currently being featured by PBS as part of a series called They Drew Fire, Combat Artists of World War II.
