Battlefield Action #89

Charlton's Battlefield Action #89 puts the spotlight on S/Sgt. Al Rogers — "sometimes called The Undertaker" — in a cover by Dick Giordano and Rocke Mastroserio that captures him charging forward, rifle blazing, amid erupting shellfire and crouching soldiers on a smoke-filled battlefield. The raw energy of that central figure, lunging through the chaos while helmeted troops press the fight around him, sets a tense, gritty tone that defined Charlton's war titles in 1984. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Art Cappello (inked by Vince Colletta) deliver "Stranger in Town," promising the kind of down-to-earth combat storytelling this series always did well.
