Combat Casey #16

Robert Q. Sale's cover for this June 1954 Atlas war title says it all — the red-bearded Casey is mid-brawl, simultaneously knocking two enemies' heads together with bone-crunching force while a bayonet-fixed rifle hangs at his back and soldiers scramble in the smoke-filled background. The tagline "The Fighting Infantry's Red-Bearded Riot!" captures the wild energy Sale brings to every line, making this one of the more viscerally charged covers in the series. If "Sizzling Action on Blazing Battlefields" is what you're after, Combat Casey #16 delivers that promise right on its front cover.
