Turk Ankrum

Bronze Age war comics had a gritty, uncompromising edge, and Turk Ankrum fits that mold perfectly — born in 1975 from the pages of Savage Combat Tales #1, courtesy of the talented team of Archie Goodwin and Al McWilliams at Seaboard. A product of the mid-seventies combat comics boom, Turk shares his battlefield with a rough-and-ready cast including Duke Ripley, Ice Marko, and Sgt. Ben Stryker, the kind of hard-bitten company that signals serious war storytelling. His appearances are rare — making him a genuine find for collectors hunting the overlooked corners of Bronze Age publishing — and Savage Combat Tales remains the place to track him down.
