Army Attack #45

From Charlton's Army Attack comes this tense October 1966 standoff, with cover art by Dick Giordano and Rocco Mastroserio bringing real grit to a close-quarters confrontation: a German soldier levels a submachine gun at an American GI, trading sharp words — "I have you now, Soft Yankee Swine!" met with a defiant "I wouldn't bet on it, Nazi!" — against a rubble-strewn backdrop. The cover teases the featured story "The Bridge," written by Joe Gill with art by Charles Nicholas and inks by Vince Alascia, promising a WWII duel between two soldiers where determination may matter as much as firepower. At just 12 cents, this is a compact, punchy slice of mid-'60s war comics drama.
