Fightin' Army #162

Charlton's long-running war anthology returns with issue #162, and the cover — penciled and inked by Tom Sutton and Miguel Repetto — delivers an arresting aerial moment: a military transport plane taking heavy fire high above the clouds, with gunfire bursts and thick black smoke trailing from its fuselage as tracer rounds tear through the sky. It's the kind of tense, kinetic image that made Charlton's war titles a reliable stop for action fans in 1983. Inside, Demetrio Sánchez Gómez handles both pencils and inks on "The Hostage," promising soldiers-in-peril drama to match the cover's urgency.
