Fightin' Army #151

Charlton's Fightin' Army #151 delivers gritty wartime tension right on its cover, where a crawling soldier in full combat gear scrambles desperately across rocky terrain as a pistol is leveled point-blank at his face — with a second helmeted figure visible in the smoky background. Cover pencils by Dick Giordano and inks by Rocco Mastroserio give the scene a raw, immediate energy that suits the promise to "thrill to the battle-action on Cemetery Hill!" Inside, Joe Gill's writing is paired with Bill Montes's art and Ernie Bache's inks for the story "The War Criminal!" — solid creative firepower for any fan of Charlton's down-to-earth war comics from 1981.
