The Marvel/Atlas war comic era started with War Comics #1, which hit newsstands in early September 1950, a little over a month after the United States entered the Korean War.
That war would soon help inspire a wave of war comic books from countless publishers in the early 1950s, but war comics would be a significant category from Marvel/Atlas far beyond that. The publisher would ultimately publish some 500 issues of war comic books across 30+ titles 1950-1960. Pretty much no matter how one defines the end of Marvel's Atlas era , Battle #70 is the last Atlas war comic book — and it's a fitting send-off for the era. There's a Battle #70 CGC FN 6.
A Tank Knows No Mercy is Kirby with Ditko inks, Dateline – Iwo Jima has Burgos pencils and inks, The Thick of Battle has Kirby inked by Joe Sinnott, Gettysburg! is penciled and inked by Everett, with Face to Face with the Enemy drawn by Don Heck rounding out the issue. It's an impressive assemblage of artistic talent with a Kirby cover as well. Marvel would not re-enter the war genre until well into the Marvel Universe era with Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #1 over three years later.
