Fightin' Marines #47

This 1962 Charlton entry in the long-running Fightin' Marines series delivers a gripping cover by Jack Abel, depicting two soldiers locked in fierce hand-to-hand combat against a backdrop of billowing flames and a war-torn shoreline, while a small figure crouches in the foreground below them. The cover promises "The Foreign Devils," teasing a story of a boy who stood alone against an army for two years — an irresistible setup for fans of wartime drama. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Charles Nicholas (inked by Vince Alascia) bring their own tale, "The Civilians," to life at a modest twelve cents.
