Battle Action #13

A squad of helmeted American soldiers charges forward with rifles and bayonets at the ready, bearing down on a group of enemy fighters cowering in the foreground — it's an arresting, kinetic image that captures the intensity Atlas Comics brought to the war genre in 1954. Harry Anderson's cover art crackles with momentum, the surging infantrymen and the desperate expressions of their opponents creating an immediate sense of high-stakes combat. Inside, Paul Hodge illustrates "Wingate's Wonders!" — making this a solid addition to any collection of mid-century military comics.
