Battlefield Action #24

Charlton's Battlefield Action #24 delivers exactly what its banner promises — fire-fight, action, and drama — with a cover by Sam Glanzman that pulls no punches: a sweat-drenched P.F.C. grips his weapon with white-knuckle intensity, his face etched with the strain of combat. Inset panels tease three stories within, including a ghostly figure unleashing machine-gun fire on T-Bone Hill and a lone rifle and helmet standing as a silent monument to "The Nameless Hero." Writer Joe Gill and artist Sam Glanzman bring their characteristic grit to the lead tale, "The Experienced P.F.C.," making this 1959 dime well spent for any fan of taut wartime storytelling.
