Fightin' Army #172

Charlton's Fightin' Army #172 from November 1984 leads with a striking Dick Giordano cover that puts a battle-hardened soldier front and center — helmet on, rifle firing, uniform torn open at the chest — with a bold American flag filling the background and a tank rolling through smoke-filled terrain behind him. The image has real grit to it, capturing the raw intensity that made Charlton's war titles a reliable staple for action fans. Inside, Don Perlin handles both pencils and inks on "Yuh Can't Live Forever (Part 1)," promising the kind of soldier-in-the-thick-of-it storytelling that gives this series its enduring appeal.
