A set of four original issues of the war-themed anthology magazine Blazing Combat, published by Warren Publishing. The collection represents the complete run of the title and includes Issue No. 1 (October 1965), No. 2 (January 1966), No. 3 (April 1966), and No. 4 (July 1966). Each issue features original cover art painted by Frank Frazetta, with his printed signature clearly visible on every cover. The magazines are produced in a black-and-white illustrated comic format with glossy color wrappers. The editorial content was managed by Archie Goodwin and includes artwork by notable illustrators such as John Severin, Alex Toth, and Wallace Wood. The front covers display the original 35-cent price point and PDC distribution marking. The reverse covers feature promotional advertisements and comic panels pertaining to the series. Each magazine is individually housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve with an acid-free backing board.

The cover colors across the set remain bright. The interiors have not been removed from the protective sleeves for physical inspection of the pages or staples.
