Combat Casey #18

Combat Casey #18 delivers exactly what its cover tagline promises — "The Fighting Infantry's Red-Bearded Riot!" — as the red-bearded Casey blazes away with a submachine gun at enemy soldiers scrambling through a dark, tree-lined battlefield, muzzle flashes lighting up the night. Fellow infantrymen push forward in the background while downed opponents sprawl across the foreground, making for a cover that crackles with frontline intensity, rendered by Carl Burgos. Inside, Robert Q. Sale brings the action to the page with the story "Where Are the Nazis Coming From?" — a 1954 Atlas war comic firing on all cylinders.
