Fightin' Marines #142

Charlton's long-running war anthology returns with issue #142, sporting a Tom Sutton cover that drops you right into a jungle firefight — soldiers scrambling through palm trees as a star-marked aircraft looms overhead against a blazing orange sky, with weapons discharging and figures caught mid-struggle in the chaos. Inside, Joe Gill scripts "The Lemon Marine," brought to life by Bill Molno's pencils, inks, and Charlotte Jetter's lettering. It's a solid 1979 entry in Charlton's dependable tradition of gritty military storytelling, priced at just 40 cents.
