“The Weapon Is Fear”

Charlton's Fightin' Army #165 leads with a cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that pulls no punches — a battle-worn soldier in helmet and full gear charges forward, fist raised, his face etched with grime and raw fear as he cries out "But I'm scared! Lord help me — I'm scared!" Explosions and rifle fire flare behind him, making the cover's emotional honesty all the more striking for a war comic of 1983. Inside, Joe Gill writes and Jack Keller illustrates "The Weapon Is Fear," promising a story that takes the human side of combat seriously.
