Fightin' Army #34

This March 1960 Charlton war title packs three stories into one cover triptych — a determined GI advancing with pistol drawn takes center stage, flanked by a silhouetted soldier beneath a blazing steeple on the left and a U.S. tank rolling through fire on the right, with story banners calling out "The Steeple," "The Steel Man," and "Patton's 3rd Army." The cover artwork, penciled by Rocco Mastroserio and inked by Dick Giordano, delivers the gritty, kinetic energy that made Charlton's war books such a reliable read at a dime a copy. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Sam Glanzman bring "The Steel Man" to life — and the contest promotion promising TWA round trips to Disneyland or New York is a charming reminder of just how vibrant the comics scene was in 1960.
