Battle #22

Battle #22 from Marvel's 1953 lineup delivers a raw, visceral cover by Joe Maneely — a helmeted GI thrusts his bayonet-tipped rifle toward a mass of enemy soldiers, snarling "Here! Chew on THIS for a while, ya scummies!" with the kind of gritty bravado that defined wartime comics of the era. The cramped, intense composition pulls you right into the thick of close-quarters combat alongside this outnumbered soldier. Inside, Tony Mortellaro brings the same hard-edged energy to "Break-out!," making this a satisfying package of Korean War-era action from cover to last page.
