Marines in Battle #25

The cover of Marines in Battle #25 sets the scene with urgent energy — U.S. Marines in combat gear press forward under fire, rifles raised, as a wave of enemy soldiers advances through a burning, smoke-filled battlefield. Carl Burgos's cover art captures the chaos with striking intensity, from the determined expression of the Marine in the foreground to the explosive orange flames lighting up the background. Priced at just a dime in September 1958, this issue leads with the story "Tonight We Raid the Reds!" — a title that speaks directly to the Cold War tensions of its era.
