Men In Action #5

This has to be the oldest comic I own. August 1952. And it's also the only Atlas comic I own. True grit comic greatness in this issue. No holds barred, nothing censored. Four stories plus one, two page prose story, which all take place in the Korean war. Really well written and the art is great as well. One story had to deal with collecting "souvenirs" from dead Korean soldiers with a twist at the end.
I managed to pick this issue up out of the back of van in a hotel parking lot. That was a weird night where it felt like the comic-con came to us. My copy was graded as a 4.0 and i picked it up for about $18. Not too bad I think. I really enjoyed this issue and will now have to track down more from the series.
