Fightin' Marines is a bimonthly war comic magazine that was published by St. John Publications from 1951–1953, and Charlton Comics from 1955–1984,[1] although it was primarily a reprint title from 1978 to the end of its run. Telling fictional stories of the United States Marine Corps, it was a sister title of the other Charlton war comics Fightin' Air Force, Fightin' Army, and Fightin' Navy.
Fightin' Marines was the home of the long-running Vietnam War feature "Shotgun Harker and Chicken", written by Joe Gill. Gill wrote the majority of stories for the title during its entire run. Other notable contributors to Fightin' Marines included Pat Boyette, Sam Glanzman, Jack Keller, Sanho Kim, Fran Matera, and Warren Sattler.
