Star Spangled War Stories #41

From the gunner's seat, the cover of this January 1956 DC anthology puts readers right into the action — an aerial gunner mans his turret as enemy planes streak and explode across the sky, with a small inset photo of a woman watching anxiously from home. Irv Novick's cover art captures the tension of combat from an immersive, over-the-shoulder perspective that pulls you straight into the chaos. Featuring Robert Kanigher's "A Gunner's Hands" plus additional tales of "flaming action on fighting fronts," this is a solid entry in DC's mid-fifties war anthology series.
