Battleground #10

A steel-eyed soldier crouches low behind a log, rifle in hand, his camouflaged helmet bristling with foliage as he scans the terrain ahead — while GIs and military vehicles press forward in the smoky background. Carl Burgos's cover for this March 1956 Atlas anthology delivers exactly the grim tension promised by the tagline inviting readers to go "Behind Enemy Lines!" with American GIs. Inside, Don Heck brings the war-story anthology to life, including "The Decision of Captain Kellner!" — making this a fine slice of mid-1950s combat comics at its most earnest.
