Battle #59

Three American G.I.s are pinned in a trench with nothing but a last case of .50 cal. ammo between them and a massive enemy advance — Joe Maneely's cover crackles with that desperate, edge-of-defeat tension as one soldier mans the machine gun while another discovers the grim news at the bottom of the ammo crate. Battle #59 asks the bold question right on the cover: how did our G.I.s stop "The Reds Who Couldn't Be Stopped"? Inside, Gene Colan delivers the all-new battle adventure to answer it — a fine ten-cent read from 1958 that captures Cold War-era war comics at a gripping pitch.
