This issue contains the story, "Landscape", and was the reason why BLAZING COMBAT was kept off the PX in Army bases and boycotted by newsstands across the country for its "unpatriotic", anti-war editorial stance. The fact of the matter was, writer Archie Goodwin, who again penned all the stories, was at the top of his game with his stint in the Warren Universe. Realistic dialogue, tight plots and always with an EC Comics-style surprise ending (even with the EC-style term "New Trend In Action Stories"), made BLAZING COMBAT a hard-hitting book that I consider the best of the non-supernatural horror Warren titles.
