Battle #10

This July 1952 Atlas war anthology puts the Korean conflict front and center with a cover by Sol Brodsky that pulls no punches — a grim, steely-eyed American soldier stands over a fallen enemy officer decorated with red stars, while comrades advance through a smoke-filled, fire-lit battlefield behind him. The featured story, "The Red Butcher of Yingkow," written by Hank Chapman with art by Paul Reinman, promises the kind of hard-edged combat drama that defined Atlas's war line. For fans of 1950s military comics, this is a compelling snapshot of the genre at its most intense.
