Battlefront #15

From the Atlas Comics war anthology comes this January 1954 installment of Battlefront, with a cover by Russ Heath that pulls no punches. A helmeted American GI wrestles an enemy soldier to the ground in brutal close-quarters combat, while behind him a fellow soldier fires his rifle and a charging enemy raises his weapon overhead — the tension practically leaps off the page. Inside, Howard Nostrand brings the gritty story "The Red Horde" to life, making this a solid entry in Atlas's tradition of hard-hitting Korean War-era combat anthologies.
