Army War Heroes

About the series
From 1963 to 1970, Charlton Comics published Army War Heroes, a 38-issue series that plunged readers into gritty, small-unit combat stories from World War II and Korea. The workhorse scripting of Joe Gill and Willi Franz was matched by the rugged, no-nonsense art of Charles Nicholas, Sam Glanzman, and Bill Montes, who filled each page with mud, tension, and camaraderie. Though it never reached the heights of DC or Marvel's war books, this series stands as a solid, workmanlike example of Charlton's no-frills approach to the genre—a dependable fix for fans who wanted their war comics straight, fast, and without melodrama.
