Special Marvel Edition #5

Two soldiers clash in brutal close-quarters combat on the cover of this 1972 reprint showcase, with a gun-wielding fighter diving forward while another is sent sprawling, rifles and bayonets flashing across a war-torn battlefield backdrop where the Howling Commandos charge in the distance. John Severin's cover art captures the raw intensity of "Midnight on Massacre Mountain!" with gritty, kinetic linework that pulls you right into the thick of the action. The promise of a surprise guest star alongside the Howlers makes this an intriguing entry in Marvel's Special Edition line.
