Fightin' Army #122

Charlton's long-running war anthology returns with issue #122, and Pat Boyette's cover sets the tone immediately — helmeted GIs crouch behind rubble and barricades in a burning European village, pressing forward even as a tank and enemy soldiers hold the far side of the bridge amid towering flames and crumbling half-timbered buildings. That inset portrait of a lone soldier advancing under fire perfectly echoes the issue's own story title, "The Look Of Heroes." Writer Joe Gill and letterer Ray Burzon bring their craft to the interior, making this a solid 1976 entry in Charlton's tradition of gritty, boots-on-the-ground combat storytelling.
