About the series
A gritty, 11-issue war comic from St. John, Fightin' Marines (1951–1953) dropped readers into the brutal frontlines of the Korean War. Writers Charles F. X. Houts and Gene L. Coon crafted taut, realistic combat stories, brought to life by the early penciling of future legends Gene Colan and Ross Andru. It stands as a raw, period-accurate snapshot of wartime comics, capturing the era's unflinching patriotism and the human cost of conflict.
