Attack #16

Charlton's Attack #16 (1979) brings the chaos of aerial combat to vivid life on this Tom Sutton cover, where low-flying Japanese warplanes — red roundels clearly visible — strafe the ground as explosions erupt and soldiers in green scramble beneath the onslaught. The sky fills with aircraft and billowing smoke, capturing the frantic intensity that defines this "Our Fighting Forces in Action" series. With a teaser for "Fate of the Frisco Fannie" along the bottom, this issue promises the kind of grounded, gritty WWII storytelling that made Charlton's war titles a reliable read throughout the era.
