Fightin' Army #119

Charlton's Fightin' Army #119 from 1975 opens with a striking Pat Boyette cover that sets a tense, almost surreal wartime mood — a military staff car speeds along a road amid flames and smoke, while a row of gaunt, ghostly prisoner faces looms large behind barbed wire overhead, with aircraft visible in the distant sky. The title "The Liberators" emblazoned across the bottom hints at the desperate stakes on display, and Boyette's artwork gives the whole scene an eerie, haunting weight. Inside, Joe Gill's story "The Buddy System" promises the kind of gritty, human-centered war storytelling that made Charlton's war titles a reliable read throughout the decade.
