Battle Action #18

From Atlas Comics' war anthology comes this August 1955 installment, cover by Russ Heath, promising "All New Tales" including the featured story "The Capture of So Yan Sen!" Heath's artwork crackles with kinetic energy — a soldier in green fatigues hurls a figure clean off his feet amid the chaos of combat, while fellow GIs advance through smoke and gunfire across a fiery battlefield. It's a vivid snapshot of mid-1950s war comics at their most visceral, bearing the Comics Code seal and priced at just a dime.
