Battlefield Action #74

Charlton's long-running war anthology delivers pulse-pounding WWII tension in this 1982 installment, with a cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that throws you straight into the chaos — a military vehicle is blown violently into the air amid billowing fire and smoke while soldiers scramble for cover below. The cover tagline "Hit the deck! That kraut's got us zeroed in!!!" and the story banner "The 88mm Sniper!" make clear that these men are caught dangerously in an enemy gunner's sights. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Ernesto R. Garcia bring their own story, "Terror Master," to life in the dependable, gritty style that kept Battlefield Action on newsstands for decades.
