Battleground #4

From Atlas Comics' war anthology series comes this March 1955 issue of Battleground, featuring a cover by Russ Heath that puts you right in the thick of combat. A helmeted soldier charges forward, pistol raised and mouth open in a battle cry, while infantry troops clash across a smoke-filled landscape behind him. Promising "All New War Tales!" — including "Commie Death Trap" with art by Joe Sinnott — this ten-cent issue delivers the gritty, ground-level intensity that made Atlas war comics a staple of 1955 newsstands.
