Battle Action #19

This October 1955 Atlas war anthology delivers gritty battlefield intensity with cover art by Joe Maneely. The cover puts you right in the thick of it — a battle-hardened soldier, cigar clenched in his teeth, crawls through a tangle of barbed wire while hoisting a grenade, as fellow GIs push forward through smoke and chaos behind him. With the lead story titled "The Red Ambush!", this issue promises the kind of tense, boots-on-the-ground combat drama that made Battle Action a reliable destination for war comics fans in the mid-1950s.
