Battlefield Action #67

Charlton's Battlefield Action #67 puts the pressure squarely on one beleaguered sergeant, and Pat Masulli and Rocke Mastroserio's cover captures it vividly — a grim-faced squad leader looms large in the background while his fractured squad reacts in the foreground, one soldier rage-filled and another firing what appears to be a flamethrower into the chaos. The cover caption spells out the burden: too many patrols, too many attacks, good men pushed to the edge — and one man responsible for holding them together. Joe Gill's writing paired with Bill Montes and Ernie Bache's interior art promises the kind of ground-level, human war drama that made Charlton's war titles a reliable read in 1981.
