U.S. Fighting Men #11

This 1963 entry in I.W. Publishing's U.S. Fighting Men series delivers a tense ground-level combat scene, with cover art by Jack Abel showing two American GIs — Monty Hall armed with a blazing machine gun and his buddy Tex pushing forward through explosions — while enemy aircraft burst into flames overhead. The cover text promises the duo will find themselves "smack in the middle of a Feather Fight," teasing the kind of gritty, high-stakes action that made war comics a staple of the era. At just 12 cents, this issue packs a solid punch of military adventure rendered with Abel's sharp, kinetic linework.
