In "To Trap a Traitor," Marines Mike and Pepper keep watch over a tense stretch of the Vietnam front, their vigilance tested when they spot suspicious movement in a free-fire zone. Calling in an artillery strike on instinct, they’re left stunned when the aftermath reveals a truth far more complicated than the enemy they expected. Written by Bob Groll and illustrated by Frank Redondo, with colors by Bob Le Rose, this gripping story unfolds with quiet intensity, grounded in the weight of duty and uncertainty. The cover, by Joe Kubert, captures the moment’s tension in stark, powerful lines.
