Attack #31

Charlton's long-running war anthology roars into issue #31 with a cover by penciler A. Martinez and inker Jean Elier that puts you right in the thick of a WWII air battle. A sleek fighter — nose art and lightning bolt markings clearly visible — tears low over a burning industrial target while bombers and enemy planes fill the smoke-streaked yellow sky, at least one already going down in flames. Inside, writer Willi Franz takes readers on a submarine-flavored mission with "End Run: U-575!", promising the kind of gritty, boots-on-the-ground (and wings-in-the-air) action that made Charlton's war titles a reliable treat in 1981.
