Fightin' Army #72

Charlton's Fightin' Army #72 puts readers right in the thick of it with a tense cover — penciled by Dick Giordano and inked by Rocco Mastroserio — showing a U.S. soldier scrambling across open ground, his submachine gun lost just out of reach, as an enemy pistol is leveled point-blank at him and a defiant "Die, Americaner!" fills the air, while a second GI watches tensely from a nearby foxhole. The cover promises battle-action set on "Cemetery Hill," and the desperation on that soldier's face makes the stakes feel very real. A solid entry in Charlton's 1967 war lineup, with interior work by writer Joe Gill and artist Bill Montes.
