Fightin' Army #50

Charlton's Fightin' Army #50 from 1963 puts the intensity of WWII combat front and center, with Jack Abel's cover depicting a paratrooper descending behind enemy lines while two grim-faced enemy officers — one pointing urgently from behind a tank hatch — track his every move, as aircraft and fellow jumpers dot the sky above. The cover copy promises "action like you've never seen before" as soldiers attempt to halt the armored might of the Nazi horde at "The Bridge," setting a tense, high-stakes mood before you've turned a single page. With interior stories including "The Last Man," "The Terrorists," and "A Man Returns" — written by Joe Gill with art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia — this issue delivers a satisfying spread of wartime drama for any fan of the genre.
