Fightin' Army #154

Charlton's long-running war anthology reaches issue #154 with a cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that pulls no punches: a helmeted soldier stands amid the wreckage of battle, a red-cross vehicle burning behind him and fallen bodies at his feet, his thought bubble asking the haunting question, "They're all dead… all dead… both their men and ours… and for what?" It's a quietly powerful image that captures the human cost of combat with more restraint than most war covers of 1981. Inside, the story "Breakdown!" promises the kind of gritty, character-driven drama that made Fightin' Army a staple of the Charlton lineup.
