Fightin' Army #129

Charlton's Fightin' Army #129 (November 1977) plunges readers straight into the chaos of combat, with Bill Molno's cover depicting Allied soldiers scrambling through smoke and explosions — "KA-BOOM" and "BUDDA BUDDA" sound effects hammering home the intensity — while an enemy soldier bearing a swastika-marked helmet lunges menacingly in the foreground. The promise of "All New" stories inside is backed up by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia's interior art on "Medic," a tale that puts a battlefield healer at the center of the action. A solid entry in Charlton's long-running war anthology series, this issue delivers the gritty frontline drama the title was known for throughout the 1970s.
