Attack #14

Charlton's war anthology Attack #14 (1973) puts the heat of Pacific combat front and center, with a twin-engine fighter spiraling down in a blaze of smoke and explosions while its pilot radios a desperate "Mayday — I'm bailing out over the island!" A inset panel introduces a determined figure on the ground, hinting that "The Rescuers" are already moving to intercept the doomed airman before the enemy can. Jack Keller's cover pencils and inks capture the chaos with kinetic energy, making this an appealing slice of 1973 war-comics action from Joe Gill and Ray Burzon.
