Star Spangled War Stories #17

From DC's "Flaming Action on Fighting Fronts!" anthology comes Star Spangled War Stories #17 (January 1954), a ten-cent package of gritty battlefield drama. Irv Novick's cover puts you right in the thick of it — a determined soldier crouches low, blazing away with a machine gun as bullet geysers erupt around him, a burning tank erupts in the background, and a tattered American flag flies defiantly from a planted rifle behind him. Inside, Ed Herron and artist Curt Swan (inked by Ray Burnley) bring you four war features, including "Prize Target!," "All Quiet," "The Fort and the Flea," and "Turnabout" — a full anthology of frontline tension for one thin dime.
