Battlefront

    (Marvel, 1952-1957)
™ and ©1956 Postal Publications Inc.

Pack up your mess kit and join the patrol with the soldiers of Battlefront! This classic war comic ran from 1952 to 1957 and covered most of the wars in which Americans have fought. In both text stories and regular comic tales, the heroism of the U.S. forces is extolled while readers were shown just why the Communist menace was something worth fighting. Typical stories might include the saga of a soldier escaping from an enemy prison, or the difficulties encountered by a young man assigned to a unit commanded by his father. Battlefront isn’t just an entertaining collection of war stories; it’s also a glimpse into the way the world was perceived at the dawn of the Cold War era.
