D-Day

During the 1960s, Charlton Comics published D-Day, a five-issue war series that ran from 1963 to 1968. The title drew on the talents of prolific writer Joe Gill, as well as artists Charles Nicholas, Sam Glanzman, and Bill Montes, among others, to deliver gritty, action-focused tales of combat. While short-lived, the series stands as a representative example of Charlton’s no-frills, budget-conscious war comics, capturing the era’s fascination with World War II heroism. Its modest but dedicated creative team helped cement the publisher’s reputation for straightforward, soldier’s-eye-view storytelling.
