Fightin' Marines #17

Three battle-hardened Marines crouch low in a rubber assault raft, weapons ready, as enemy tracer fire slices across the water around them — it's a tense, well-crafted image from cover penciler Bill Molno and inker Vince Alascia that captures the nerve and grit of amphibious combat. The fiery sky and churning sea behind them give the scene real urgency, setting the stage perfectly for the "breathtaking action stories" Charlton promised readers in 1956. Fightin' Marines #17 is a solid find for fans of mid-century war comics done with genuine craft.
