Fightin' Army #155

Charlton's long-running war anthology delivers another tense dispatch with issue #155, cover-dated December 1981. Jack Keller's cover puts you right in the thick of it — two soldiers in full combat gear square off in a desperate confrontation amid smoke, gunfire, and an erupting explosion in the background, their dialogue making clear that Charlie Company's survival hangs in the balance. With Joe Gill writing and Keller handling both pencils and inks on the interior story "Heroes Die Young," this is straightforward, no-frills war comics storytelling at its most earnest.
