Battlefront #39

From Atlas/Marvel's long-running war anthology comes Battlefront #39, cover-dated March 1956 and promising "All New War Adventures" inside. John Severin's cover puts you right in the rubble — a grim-faced American soldier crouches low with his rifle, alert to the warning that the town is "crawlin' with snipers," while enemy figures loom through a shattered wall behind him and a fellow GI moves up in the background. With Gene Colan on art duties inside and the featured story "Hit and Run!" waiting within, this ten-cent issue delivers the tense, ground-level combat action that made Battlefront a reliable pick for war comics fans in 1956.
