Fightin' Five #29

Charlton's "America's Super Squad" faces an ancient threat in this October 1964 entry, as the cover by Dick Giordano drops the blue-uniformed, red-bereted Fightin' Five squad right into a clash with warriors wielding spears and shields — an arrow already slicing through the air toward them — while a robed figure stands triumphant atop a stone platform above the chaos. The story is titled "The War Against the Aztec Destroyers," and Giordano's crisp linework captures both the urgency of the squad's crouching, weapon-ready poses and the dramatic scale of the confrontation behind them. Joe Gill scripts with art by Bill Montes and Ernie Bache, making this a solid slice of Charlton's mid-sixties action adventure at its most kinetic.
