Battle Action #7

From Atlas Comics' December 1952 war anthology comes this tense, gritty number — the cover by Carl Burgos and Christopher Rule drops you right into the thick of close-quarters combat, with a helmeted American soldier driving a knife into an enemy fighter while a second adversary reels back with arm raised, and a grimacing enemy officer looms large in the foreground, pistol in hand, against a smoky battlefield backdrop. The series stars Pvt. "Battle" Brady, and this issue features "Corporal Dugan's Grenades," written by Hank Chapman with interior art by Syd Shores. A solid slice of Korean War-era action storytelling from one of Atlas's reliable monthly offerings.
