About the series
A gritty, 25-issue war comic from Marvel’s 1950s Atlas era, Marines in Battle (1954–1958) dramatized the frontline experiences of the U.S. Marine Corps through visceral, no-nonsense combat stories. The series was defined by the rugged, realistic artwork of Bob Forgione, George Tuska, and Gene Colan, whose dynamic panels brought the chaos of battle to life without glamorizing it. It stands as a key example of the pre-superhero war genre, offering a stark, human look at courage and conflict.
