Fightin' Army is a bimonthly war comic that was published by Charlton Comics from 19561984[1] (though it was primarily a reprint title from 1978 to the end of its run). Telling fictional stories of the United States Army, it was a sister title of the other Charlton war comics Fightin' Air Force, Fightin' Marines, and Fightin' Navy.

In the late 1960s, Fightin' Army was the host of the ongoing feature "The Lonely War of Willy Schultz", written by Will Franz and illustrated by Sam Glanzman. Other notable contributors to Fightin' Army included Jon D'Agostino, Sanho Kim, Jack Keller, Rocke Mastroserio, and Warren Sattler. Don Perlin drew a majority of covers in 1972–1973. Editors Pat Masulli (1957–1966) and George Wildman (1971–1984) both had long tenures in charge of the title.
