Men's Adventures #15

Men's Adventures #15 brings Atlas Comics' promise of "Warfare • Suspense • Danger" to vivid life on a cover penciled and inked by Joe Maneely, depicting a tense combat scene where American GIs crawl through undergrowth, rifles at the ready, while a Soviet-capped enemy officer lurks among the trees watching a nearby encampment. The sharp "SNAP" sound effect cutting across the foreground captures that split-second of battlefield tension perfectly. With interior art by Mac Pakula and Norman Steinberg on the story "Anti-Tank," this 1952 ten-cent Atlas issue delivers the gritty Korean War-era drama the title was known for.
