Fightin' Army #40

A steely-eyed soldier in a netted helmet dominates the cover of this 1961 Charlton anthology, gripping a weapon while the chaos of combat — explosions, aircraft, and battlefield action — plays out in the diagonal panels around him. Sam Glanzman's cover art captures the gritty, no-nonsense spirit that defined war comics of the era, teasing stories including "Not Hero Types" and "Anyone Can Get a Purple Heart." With Joe Gill writing and Glanzman handling both interior art and inking, Fightin' Army #40 delivers a solid package of wartime drama at a dime a copy.
