Our Army at War #22

This May 1954 DC war anthology opens with a cover by Jerry Grandenetti that drops you straight into the chaos of "Ranger Raid" — a helmeted U.S. Army sergeant rappels down a rocky cliff face while enemy fire crackles around him and an opposing soldier below reaches up in desperation. The dynamic diagonal composition pulls your eye right through the gunfire and sparks, capturing that tense, split-second danger of a behind-the-lines assault. Beyond the featured story, the issue also promises "Killer Clock," "Million Dollar Umbrella," and "The Door," making this a packed ten-cent package of wartime adventure.
