Man Comics #25

This April 1953 Atlas war title delivers exactly what its tagline promises — "Dangerous Battles… Breathless Suspense!" — with a cover by Bill Everett that plunges you straight into the chaos: a helmeted soldier fires his rifle point-blank in the foreground while combatants clash in the fiery, smoke-filled ruins behind him, bodies already fallen on the ground. The story teased inside, "Evacuation!," is billed as a tale "That Others May Live," with interior art by Sy Barry and colors by Stan Goldberg bringing that grim promise to life. A vivid snapshot of early-'50s war comics at their most intense.
