Russkie-Smashers ATOMIC ATTACK! "Tomorrow's War!"

RUSSKIES!
In 1953, we thought we'd still be fighting them in the not-so-distant future...
... of 1972!
Now that's scary!
This wild tale was from the first issue of a "future war" title from the 1950s called Atomic Attack!
(It was called simply Attack for it's first four issues and added "Atomic" to the title as of the fifth issue, so the first issue of Atomic Attack was #5!)
Oddly, only the lead story in each issue was future-based!
The other tales were set in contemporary (Korean War) times!
Sadly, because the publisher, Youthful Publications, is long defunct and left no successor company, there are no records of the writer or artist(s) for this story!

Viet-Cong Wallopers NICK FURY: AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. and the HOWLING COMMANDOS "Viet Nam: the Valor and the Victory" Part 1

Confused by that title?

Just understand it's 1967, the VietNam War is well underway, and all the rest will be explained as we go, True Believer...
Admittedly, this wasn't the usual Commie-clobberin' post you're used to seeing!
But, it's Memorial Day, and we wanted to do something wild and different!
This is the second part of the feature tale from the never-reprinted Marvel's Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos Annual #3 (1967) by writer Gary Friedrich, penciler Dick Ayers and inker John Tartaglione.
Now that the backstory's been fleshed-out, you can witness mayhem aplenty by clicking...
(So what're ya waiting for???)
