Fightin' Army #86

A snarling guard dog lunges through a barbed-wire perimeter fence while an armed guard stands close by and soldiers patrol in the background — Sam Glanzman's cover for this 1969 Charlton issue captures the desperate tension of a prison-camp breakout with real grit. Featuring the continuing feature "The Lonely War of Capt. Willy Schultz," Fightin' Army #86 delivers the kind of grounded, combat-focused storytelling Charlton did so well in this era. Glanzman's linework brings an authenticity to every detail, from the weapon gripped at the ready to the coiled menace of that dog mid-charge.
