''Fightin' Army'' was a bimonthly war comic published by Charlton Comics from 1956–1984〔''A Complete History of American Comic Books'', Shirrel Rhoades, Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., 2008, Pg. 53.〕 (though it was primarily a reprint title from 1978 to the end of its run). Telling fictional stories of the United States Army, it was a sister title of the other Charlton war comics ''Fightin' Air Force'', ''Fightin' Marines'', and ''Fightin' Navy''. In the late 1960s, ''Fightin' Army'' was the host of the ongoing feature "The Lonely War of Willy Schultz," written by Will Franz and illustrated by Sam Glanzman. Other notable contributors to ''Fightin' Army'' included Jon D'Agostino, Sanho Kim, Jack Keller, Rocke Mastroserio, and Warren Sattler. Don Perlin drew a majority of covers in 1972–1973. Editors Pat Masulli (1957–1966) and George Wildman (1971–1984) both had long tenures in charge of the title. == Publication history == As with many comic book titles published at the time, ''Fightin' Army'' did not start with issue number one; it was a renaming of a series called ''Soldier and Marine Comics'', which published five issues, numbered #11–15, from Dec. 1954 - Aug. 1955. The title became ''Fightin' Army'' with issue #16, published in January 1956. Early issues of ''Fightin' Army'' sported such taglines as "Breathtaking Action Stories," "Action Packed Battle Stories," "Thrill Packed Combat," and "Rip-Snorting Combat Tales." Issues #120 – #126 (Sept. 1975 – Oct. 1976) featured painted covers. Like the entire Charlton line, ''Fightin' Army'' went on a publishing hiatus between January and August 1977, issues #126 and #127. From issue #132 (Apr. 1978) onward, ''Fightin' Army'' was primarily a reprint title, mostly using material from earlier issues, as well as the 1963–1970 Charlton title ''Army War Heroes''. ''Fightin' Army'' ran through issue #171, publishing a total of 157 issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fightin' Army」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
