Combat Casey #11

Atlas Comics' Combat Casey #11 (August 1953) puts the infantry's red-bearded riot front and center, with Casey confidently manhandling two enemy soldiers at once — one flung backward clutching a rifle, another sprawled at his feet — all while taunting them with the unforgettable line, "There's only TWO of ya against me!" Robert Q. Sale's cover art crackles with rough-and-tumble energy, capturing Casey's brawling swagger in bold, kinetic linework. Inside, Hank Chapman's story "So That We May Live" promises more of the gritty wartime drama that made this Atlas series a staple of 1953 comic racks.
