Battlefield Action #66

Charlton's long-running war anthology delivers another tense naval chapter with Battlefield Action #66, featuring a striking cover by Sam Glanzman that frames a warship being torn apart by a massive explosion — viewed through a targeting reticle as if seen from the periscope of a submarine or the sights of an attacking vessel. The image perfectly sets the stage for the interior story "Bombardment Ship," written by Joe Gill with art by Bill Molno and inks by Rocco Mastroserio. For fans of no-frills, boots-on-the-ground (and deck) military comics, this 1981 Charlton entry captures the raw drama of naval combat with real visual punch.
