Fightin' Army #109

Two U.S. Army soldiers settle a personal grudge with their fists right in the middle of a Korean War battlefield, while blue-uniformed enemy troops close in through the rocky hills behind them — a cover that captures the chaos of soldiers being human even under fire. Don Perlin's cover art delivers that tension with real punch, the tagline promising that "the battle with the Commies in Korea in 1951 had to wait until these two sluggers finished their own little war." Charlton's Fightin' Army #109 is a gritty slice of early-1970s war comics that puts personality front and center alongside the combat.
