Fightin' Army #32

This November 1959 Charlton issue puts a lone U.S. soldier front and center, his M1 rifle gripped firmly as he faces a battlefield backdrop of smoke and flame — with a second figure visible in the distance — while his thought balloon reads, "They expect me and my M1 to stop the whole Nazi Army!" The cover boldly declares the featured story, "The Rifleman," with the tagline "Mightier than a tank… faster than a plane… our greatest weapon," setting up a tense WWII tale brought to life by Sam Glanzman's gritty pencils and inks. With Joe Gill also contributing to the writing, this dime comic delivers the kind of down-to-earth soldier drama that made Charlton's war titles a genuine alternative for fans of the genre in 1959.
