Fightin' Navy #97

Charlton's Fightin' Navy #97 packs four naval action tales into one 1961 ten-cent package — "They Refused to Die," "Miss Emily II," "The Last Rendezvous," and "A Tough Chicken" — making it a genuinely satisfying read for war comics fans. Sam Glanzman's cover art captures the chaos of combat beautifully: a helmeted gunner blazing away with a machine gun (accompanied by a satisfying "RATA TAT TAT"), aerial dogfight panels exploding overhead, and a naval gun erupting with a thunderous "BLAM" against a burning horizon. It's a dynamic, multi-scene composition that gives you a real sense of the sea-and-sky warfare waiting inside.
