War Battles

War Battles (1952–1954) was a 24-issue war comic from Consolidated Press that delivered gritty, no-nonsense combat stories across various historical and modern fronts. The series was most consistently illustrated by a trio of reliable hands—Al Gordon, John Belfi, and Tom Hickey—whose work gave the book a grounded, action-packed feel. It stands as a solid, unsung example of the early-1950s war comic boom, offering straightforward tales of soldiers and strategy without the superhero trappings of its larger publishers.
