Battlefield Action #76

Charlton's Battlefield Action #76 brings the heat in this 1982 war anthology, with a cover by Dick Giordano (pencils) and Rocco Mastroserio (inks) that puts you right in the thick of it — a helmeted soldier levels his submachine gun at point-blank range over a fallen enemy while more troops advance through a fiery, jungle-tinged battlefield behind him. The bold tagline "Have a little dose of Brown's home remedy… hot lead tea!" and the banner proclaiming "Brown's Last Stand!" set a grimly wry tone that longtime fans of Charlton's combat titles will appreciate. Inside, artist Larry Woromay and inker Ernie Bache deliver the story "Two Wars at Once," promising the kind of gritty, ground-level wartime drama this series did so well.
