Our Fighting Forces #15

A fully-geared frogman in olive diving suit lunges dramatically toward the viewer, gun in hand, while a Japanese-marked vessel swirls in the churning water behind him and a formation of aircraft fills the sky above — it's a striking cover by Jerry Grandenetti that captures the underwater tension of mid-1950s DC war comics at their most kinetic. This 1956 issue of Our Fighting Forces promises "Torpedo for a Frogman!" along with other action-packed battle tales, making it a satisfying package of military adventure. Ed Herron's writing paired with Ross Andru and Mike Esposito's interior art rounds out what looks like a genuinely exciting issue — and as a bonus, it includes details and an entry blank for DC's giant $5,000 prize contest.
