Combat 12, page 12 by Sam Glanzman

Defending a position is often tougher than mounting an attack.  The jungle action is just heating up with gunfire!

I like the mention of how sounds like brustling bushes or birds wailing could trigger a heightened awareness or move for their guns as soldiers are on edge all the time in the fog of war. 

Yes, that's definitely Sam who wrote "M.G. burst on ground" on the bottom border to ensure the coloris didn't confuse the bursts for tall grass! The foreground boot adds great effect indeed. 

I like the top panel. With the marines warily walking unto the base.

Even with the directions, the colorist did a minimal job on that last panel.

Thanks, Miki! Yes, the colorist didn't follow his instructions very well for the last panel and just colored the jungle in a solid green. Can hardly tell those are machine gun bursts.
