Fightin' Marines #92

Charlton's Fightin' Marines #92 from 1970 puts Lt. Drowell squarely in the thick of it — the cover, by Pat Boyette, features a grimly determined enemy commander in the foreground alongside a soldier sliding down a rope under fire, enemy troops massing behind him, with a speech bubble demanding "Kill Joe!" in both Japanese characters and English. The cover copy warns that with his plane out of action, Lt. Drowell could look forward to "The Easy Life" — which, judging by the chaos on display, is anything but. Inside, Joe Gill and Sam Glanzman deliver their trademark gritty wartime storytelling in "The Viet Cong and the Peaceniks," making this a solid entry in Charlton's long-running war anthology.
