I came across this full, readable copy of the US Army's comic book about maintaining and operating the M16 on the internet. For those interested please enjoy.

Interesting, thanks for posting!
1969... Cool
Notice that "Will Eisner" is written in Disney-esque script? Wonder if he was a Disney artist commissioned by the Govt to draw this up for troops.
Doing a little research yielded this:

I love it!
Now I want to go read some comic books instead of work...
I have that in my gun library. Love the pin up type girl that's in there.
