Fightin' Five #48

The Fightin' 5 charge forward in determined formation on this October 1982 Charlton cover — five soldiers in blue uniforms and red berets, weapons in hand, bursting through what looks like a portal onto an ocean-front battlefield, with submarines and a futuristic cityscape visible behind them. The cover copy names the threat: Dr. Nijus, a villain whose ambitions extend beneath the oceans themselves, setting up "Their Greatest Test" in the story "Hidden Empire." Cover art by Pat Masulli and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, with writing by Joe Gill, makes this a solidly crafted entry in Charlton's dependable military adventure line.
