    Cover by Matt Baker. Stories and art by Matt Baker and Gene Colan. Charlton's long-running series focused on the miliary exploits of the US Marines throughout the 20th century. The lure of these early issues is the military-comedy series featuring redheaded military mascot Canteen Kate. Kate causes comic chaos when she auditions for an upcoming stage performance for the troops, in a story with art by good-girl art legend Matt Baker. In Korea, Leatherneck Jack is trapped in the target area of the Marine Corps' own rocket attack, in a story with early art by future Marvel legend Gene Colan. Meanwhile, his buddies Monte and Gum travel toward a hidden enemy outpost at Junkyard Junction. Plus two more Colan stories. Cover by Baker. Frontline Private; Leatherneck Jack: Blitz at Junkyard Junction; Canteen Kate: Call to Arms; Front Line Snafu; Disguised for Death!; Enemy Breakthrough. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
