Army War Heroes #5

Charlton's Army War Heroes #5 from 1964 puts readers right into a tense wartime standoff — a German officer levels a pistol and mutters "One more step..." at a wary American GI crouched in a doorway, all rendered with sharp, confident linework by cover artists Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano. The story feature "Sleeping Beauty" (teased at the bottom) hints at the clever, character-driven tales inside, crafted by the reliable team of writer Joe Gill and artists Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia. A solid slice of early-'60s war comics action at its twelve-cent best.
