 +==== The "Tiger I" User Manual - 1943 ====
  
 Introduced in August 1942, the German "Tiger" Tank was the most expensive and most powerful tank in the world. The German technical writers recognized that coaxing the young men crewing these tanks to read a boring/dry technical manual would be a challenge. So understanding the interests of young male tank crews (their audience), the German technical writers turned their thick and boring tank manuals for "Tiger" & "Panther" tanks into a "Popular Science"/"Playboy"/"Comic book" combination.

 Adopting the comic book-style art to illustrate proper preventive maintenance methods, the US Army began publishing the "PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly" as a series of technical bulletins in June 1951. The magazine's title derives from its being a "postscript" to technical manuals and other published maintenance guidance. While the magazine has changed over the decades, as of January 2020 it is now only distributed electronically. Adopting the comic book-style art to illustrate proper preventive maintenance methods, the US Army began publishing the "PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly" as a series of technical bulletins in June 1951.
