Great example - night battle action - love the sound effects!
Incredible war action here!
Russ Heath was a master comic book artist as well as a letterer. I'm assuming he was the letterer here. I wish more artists working these days could still do hand lettering as I think it adds a ton of emotion to the page.
Russ did all the sound effects and while he could letter captions and dialogue, he avoided it whenever possible. However, he would submit his finished art with all the inked balloons and caption boxes in place. John Costanza, who may have lettered this, said that his lettering always fit those spaces perfectly.
Great page!
This is a fabulous example of Heath's talent.
