Marines in Battle #9

This Atlas Comics war title brings the heat in its ninth issue, with a Carl Burgos cover that puts you right in the thick of a beach assault — a steel-helmeted Marine lunges forward, rifle with bayonet fixed and jaw set in a battle cry, while fellow soldiers advance behind him and a warship blazes under fire in the smoky harbor beyond. The cover promises "All New Battles" and teases the featured story, Iron Mike McGraw spearheading a "Gyrene Raid!" — exactly the kind of hard-charging, no-nonsense action that made 1955 Atlas war comics a reliable thrill for readers. If you enjoy grounded military adventure with genuine visual punch, this one earns its ten-cent cover price.
