Description
"His Mother's Son," writer unknown. Charlton. Cover date March 1970.

Story synopsis: A general's "mama's boy" son redeems himself in the mountains of the Korean War.

Charlton also used this page for the cover's main image. The cover's lower left corner is from a page 7 panel.

Story's original art is complete except for a panoramic battle scene cut from the penultimate page at some point before I picked up the pages.

War comics often used flashbacks to show the protagonist's life before the war and the character flaw that he overcomes on the front lines.

Argentine artist Gustavo Trigo did romance and war stories for Charlton with cover dates between 1967 and 1973. He was in Italy by 1979 to escape the military junta conditions in his home country. The rest of his career was in Italian comics.

I want to thank CAF member Miki Annamanthadoo for the following links about Trigo:

Spanish language description of Trigo's career and his Grand Comics Database credits.

A great piece!  All the training gets thrown out the door and everything that shaped you to be the person you are is told to others by the actions or inaction you take in war.  We started getting more of these stories of conscience and self doubt as real life war was playing out overseas and the target audience was being sent off to war.

Looks like this lyric pertains:

I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done


Always cool to read the story from the art so we need to find you that missing page!

Thanks Mark. Appropriate lyrics! Finding the missing art would be satisfying.
