In "The Rebel," Lieutenant Johnny Barnett faces a harsh consequence for defying orders to save a fellow soldier—command of a stranded LST crewed by the lowest of the low. Written by Joe Gill and brought to life with gritty precision by Sam Glanzman, both in pencils and inks, this 1960 Charlton classic captures the tension of duty, loyalty, and the untested leadership of a man pushed to the edge. The cover by Sam Glanzman perfectly mirrors the story’s raw, no-nonsense wartime atmosphere.
