Fightin' Army #104

Don Perlin's cover for this 1972 Charlton war book captures a gut-punch moment of battlefield chaos — three G.I.s are sent sprawling as a bridge gives way beneath them, while a German Stuka dives in overhead with nowhere for them to run. The tagline "Nowhere to Hide!" says it all, and the fiery orange sky pressing down on the tumbling soldiers gives the scene a real sense of desperate urgency. With Willi Franz on writing duties, Fightin' Army #104 delivers the kind of gritty WWII action Charlton did so well for twenty cents.
