Attack #47

The skies are anything but peaceful on Dick Giordano's cover for this 1984 Charlton war title, where a Japanese Zero bearing bold red roundels dominates the foreground while Allied aircraft exchange fire above, black smoke trailing across a clouded sky. Attack #47 captures that visceral Pacific theater tension that made the series a dependable destination for military action fans. Inside, Joe Gill's story "The Last of the Giants," illustrated by A. Martinez, promises the kind of grounded combat storytelling Charlton did quietly well throughout its long run.
