Battle #29

From Atlas Comics' long-running war anthology comes Battle #29, hitting newsstands in May 1954 with a cover that drops you right into the chaos of close-quarters combat. Harry Anderson's cover art depicts American GIs hunkered down in a trench, rifles at the ready, as enemy soldiers swarm around a red-starred tank that dominates the middle of the scene — figures clinging to its hull while others advance past a battered building in the background. Inside, John Severin illustrates "Chosan," written by Colin Dawkins, promising the grounded, gritty battlefield storytelling that made Atlas war titles a staple of 1954 comics racks.
