Our Army at War #47

Few covers from 1956 capture the sheer audacity of wartime imagination quite like this one — a military jeep descends dramatically beneath a massive parachute, its star-marked hood aimed squarely at the reader while a helmeted soldier holds his position amid a sky full of enemy aircraft, explosions, and additional paratroopers floating down through the chaos. Jerry Grandenetti's cover art sells the featured story "Flying Jeep!" with wonderful kinetic energy, turning an unlikely premise into something genuinely thrilling. Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru, with inks by Mike Esposito, bring the interior battle-action tales to life in this DC anthology that delivered exactly what it promised: all new stories.
