Attack #9

Charlton's war anthology Attack returns with issue #9, and Tom Sutton's cover sets the tone with visceral intensity — Japanese aircraft bearing rising-sun markings sweep low over a burning airfield while soldiers scramble in the foreground amid explosions and smoke. A strip at the bottom teases "Follow the Fate of the Frisco Fannie," hinting at the kind of gritty, boots-on-the-ground storytelling that made Charlton's war line a reliable read in 1972. Inside, Sutton handles writing, art, inking, and lettering alongside Joe Gill, making this a thoroughly crafted package of wartime action.
