Fightin' Five #36

Five soldiers in matching blue uniforms and red berets advance in tight formation, weapons ready, with the looming face of the villainous Dr. Nijus glowering down from the corner — it's a striking cover by Pat Masulli and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that sets the stakes clearly. The tagline promises "their greatest test… a fight to the death with the Evil Dr. Nijus," whose ambitions for a hidden undersea empire are teased in the cover copy. Writer Joe Gill and artist Mastroserio bring Charlton's action-adventure spirit to this January 1966 issue, making it a solid find for fans of cold-war-era military comics.
