Star Spangled War Stories #78

This February 1959 issue of Star Spangled War Stories pulls you straight into the cockpit with a tense close-up of a USAF pilot — helmet, goggles, and jaw set hard — as enemy fighters close in on his tail and a radio voice barks "Fighters on your tail! — Break!" while he fires back with a clipped "Too busy!" Jerry Grandenetti's cover art frames the aerial danger brilliantly, filling the panel with the pilot's determined face and the chaos of dogfighting aircraft visible through the canopy behind him. Inside, Bob Haney writes and Mort Drucker illustrates the feature story "Fighting Wingman!" alongside additional tales of combat action — solid war comics storytelling at its ten-cent best.
