Battlefront #33

A grinning, battle-worn soldier flashes a triumphant thumbs-up in the foreground of this Atlas Comics entry from 1955, his rifle slung at his side while a crowd of figures with raised hands fills the background behind him — setting the stage perfectly for the featured story, "The Trap of Colonel Yeng!" Carl Burgos's cover art delivers an infectious sense of hard-won victory, drawing you right into the action. At just a dime, Battlefront #33 showcases the kind of confident, energetic war comics storytelling that defined the Atlas line in the mid-1950s.
