Combat Casey #31

Combat Casey #31 brings Atlas Comics' red-bearded infantry brawler to vivid life on a cover by John Severin, showing Casey gripping his rifle and bracing against a rocky outcrop while enemy soldiers close in, one gleefully noting that the Yankee has run dry. The bold taglines — "No More Ammo!" and "Captured by the Enemy!" — set up a tense, outnumbered situation that was a hallmark of the series' gritty Korean War atmosphere. At just ten cents in 1957, this issue pairs Severin's sharp cover work with interior art by Bob Powell for a satisfying dose of frontline adventure.
