Our Fighting Forces #18

A downed aviator hangs upside-down from the wreckage of his shattered cockpit canopy, while enemy soldiers close in through the tree line — it's an arresting image that captures the desperate, ground-level tension DC was bringing to war comics in 1957. Jerry Grandenetti's cover art sells the chaos beautifully, with splintered metal and gunfire sparks pulling the eye across every corner of the scene. Inside, Robert Kanigher writes and Ross Andru and Mike Esposito illustrate "The Cockpit Seat!" alongside a full slate of other action-packed battle tales, making this a genuinely satisfying package for fans of the genre.
