Our Army at War #29

This December 1954 DC war anthology packs four stories into one dime, led by "Grounded Fighter!" alongside "Mule PFC," "The Wayward Jeep," and "Fort Lighthouse." Irv Novick's cover puts you right in the thick of it — a U.S. soldier crouched atop a downed yellow warplane, rifle in hand, as enemy tanks exchange fire and smoke billows across a chaotic battlefield behind him. With Robert Kanigher writing and Russ Heath on art, Our Army at War was delivering some of the most grounded, human-scale war storytelling of the era.
