Fightin' Army #18

Charlton's Fightin' Army #18 from 1956 delivers exactly what it promises — breathtaking action stories — and the cover sets the tone immediately: a menacing enemy soldier wearing a red-starred cap mans a belt-fed machine gun in the foreground, his expression fierce and urgent, while American GIs battle through smoke and chaos in the background. Bill Molno's pencils and Vince Alascia's inks give the scene a raw, visceral energy that pulls you straight into the thick of combat. At just ten cents, this Charlton anthology is a compact package of Cold War-era military drama anchored by Joe Gill's writing and interior art from Charles Nicholas and Rocco Mastroserio.
