Battlefield Action #58

This 1965 Charlton war title delivers a tense battlefield moment right on its cover, where two helmeted soldiers sprint through a chaos of enemy fire and explosions — one shouting "Gangway!" as his sergeant warns him he's running straight into the line of fire. Pat Masulli's pencils and Dick Giordano's inks give the scene a raw, kinetic energy, with tracer fire and bursting shells pressing in from all sides. The lead story "The Terrorists," crafted by writer Joe Gill and artist Charles Nicholas with inks by Vince Alascia, promises the same gritty combat drama that made Battlefield Action a reliable pick for war comics fans in the mid-sixties.
