Fightin' Marines #52
In "Home-Coming," written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas with inks by Vince Alascia, Harry Lonigan—raised in a Marine family but lacking the Marine spirit—faces his defining moment in the brutal heat of South Korea. After a near-fatal mortar blast leaves him vulnerable to enemy troops, instinct takes over, and he fights back with a sudden, primal clarity. The cover, by Luis Dominguez, captures the weight of that turning point.
