Spy Cases #13

From Atlas/Marvel's Cold War espionage anthology comes Spy Cases #13, cover-dated October 1952 and promising "Battlefield Adventures of Actual Spies!" Sol Brodsky's cover crackles with close-quarters tension — a grim-faced Allied soldier in a steel helmet raises his fist and brandishes a pistol while confronting a menacing enemy agent wearing a red-starred cap who crouches behind a machine gun, with additional soldiers visible in the rocky background. With interior art by Bill Savage and a story titled "The Kidnaping of General Syin!," this ten-cent issue delivers the gritty spy-versus-soldier drama that made Atlas war titles a staple of early '50s newsstands.
