Battlefront #41

From Atlas Comics' Battlefront #41 (July 1956) comes this gripping Korean War-era cover by Joe Maneely, capturing a determined American soldier — cigarette clenched in his teeth, wearing a First Cavalry Division patch — blazing away with his weapon as enemy soldiers surge at him from all sides in a desperate mass attack. Ejected shell casings fly through the air while enemy figures lunge and grasp from every direction, perfectly illustrating the cover's urgent tagline: "We Faced a 'Mass Attack!'" Inside, Cal Massey brings the action to the page with "The Man in the Iron Monster" — a ten-cent package of frontline tension that showcases Atlas at its war-comics best.
