Battlefront #43

From Atlas Comics' Battlefront comes this tense 1956 war anthology issue, with a cover by John Severin that drops readers right into the action — a steel-eyed paratrooper clutches his submachine gun mid-descent, surrounded by an entire airborne assault force filling the orange-yellow sky above enemy soldiers scrambling on the ground below. The featured story, "Missing in Action!," promises the kind of frontline drama that made this series a staple of mid-'50s war comics. Interior art from Gene Colan brings additional grit to what looks to be a gripping ten-cent read.
