Fightin' Marines #29

This Charlton war title delivers a tense cover scene straight from the front lines — a helmeted Marine crouches atop an enemy vehicle, grenade in hand, while a goggled enemy driver stares up in alarm from the hatch below. Charles Nicholas's pencils and Vince Alascia's inks give the confrontation a gritty, immediate energy that perfectly suits the issue's story, "The Marine Hunt." As a bonus for 1959 readers, a bold starburst promises details on a contest with 8,000 prizes inside — making this an especially lively package from Charlton's dependable war comics lineup.
