Our Army at War #11

This June 1953 DC war anthology puts anti-aircraft firepower front and center, with a helmeted gunner watching intently as twin flak guns blaze away at an enemy aircraft caught in a burst of fire and searchlight beams overhead. The lead story is titled "Scratch One Meatball!" — promising sharp, tense aerial and ground combat — and the issue rounds out with additional tales spotlighted as "Combat Report," "Guerilla Fighters," and "Soldier's Luck." Irv Novick's cover art captures the drama of a night engagement with real energy, making this a satisfying slice of early 1950s DC war comics at their most gripping.
