Attack #21

Charlton's naval war anthology returns with Attack #21, and Don Perlin's cover captures the urgency perfectly — a wounded sailor slumps against the battered hull of a destroyer while Lt. Holman looms over him, explosions and smoke billowing in the background. The cover blurb sets the stakes plainly: the captain is dead, and Holman now shoulders command of a shattered ship. Inside, Joe Gill's script and the art team of Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia deliver the ground-level war drama that made Charlton's 1980 lineup a reliable read for fans of gritty, unpretentious military storytelling.
