Star Spangled War Stories #24

Star Spangled War Stories #24 delivers a gripping August 1954 cover by Irv Novick: a Navy assault boat marked "USS 94" charges through a beach obstacle field while a helmeted soldier at the bow fires a flamethrower, a naval officer grips the wheel, and enemy gunners in the foreground draw a bead on them — explosions and burning wreckage lighting up the horizon behind. Four stories are promised inside, led by "Death Slide!" alongside "Top Hat G.I.," "Booby Traps, B.C.," and "Human Periscope," making this a packed anthology of wartime action. DC's ten-cent war comics were firing on all cylinders in 1954, and Novick's dynamic cover art here captures that tension beautifully.
