Army War Heroes #21

This 1967 Charlton entry in the long-running Army War Heroes series puts readers right into the thick of close-quarters combat — the cover by Juan Dalfiume drops you behind a fortified position where German soldiers manning a machine gun nest face American GIs storming through a doorway, weapons drawn, with speech balloons crackling with battlefield tension. The featured story is "Ribbon-Clerk Warrior," with Joe Gill's scripting promising the kind of gritty, ground-level wartime drama Charlton did so well at twelve cents a copy. A solid slice of 1960s war comics that wears its action-packed premise right on its sleeve.
