Battlefield Action #80

Charlton's long-running war anthology reaches issue #80 with a cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that grabs you in three sharp panels: a soldier raising his rifle toward unarmed figures, a wild-eyed lieutenant lunging forward as his comrades cry out to stop him, and finally a tight close-up of that same man's face branded with the word "KILLER!" Inside, Joe Gill writes and Bill Montes and Ernie Bache bring to life "The Hurricane: An Ill Wind for the Luftwaffe," promising the kind of gritty WWII action Charlton delivered reliably throughout this era. At 60 cents, it's a compact package of battlefield tension that wears its drama right on its sleeve.
