Fightin' Army #77
In "The Executioner," six Marines struggle to survive after their landing barge hits a mine during a Pacific Island assault, fighting for their lives against determined Japanese defenders while relying on air and naval support. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas with inks by Vince Alascia, this tense wartime tale captures the grit and chaos of combat in 1967’s Fightin’ Army #77. The cover, by Rocke, sets the stage with a stark, dramatic image of the battle’s intensity.
