☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAttack #60 is an anthology war comic containing at least two stories. "The Hunters" follows American soldiers on patrol in snowy terrain who encounter Nazis hidden in the area and must locate and eliminate them before they escape. "Raiders of Ward 5" recounts a soldier's experience during the 1942 Guadalcanal campaign in the Pacific, where he was wounded and put into Ward 5 but later fought again. A third visible story involves American servicemen in a jungle setting who must rely on a military dog to help them locate enemy positions before a planned Japanese airstrike.
Outnumbered and cut off in a frozen Korean valley, Captain Vaughan and his forty-one remaining men make a desperate stand with a single tank against a massive Chinese assault. When Sergeant Keats recognizes that conventional defense won't hold, he volunteers the tank for a dangerous charge that might give the trapped soldiers their only chance to break through enemy lines.
In the years leading up to World War II, the U.S. military introduced a revolutionary new helmet designed to protect combat personnel in the field. This brief account follows the helmet through its crucial role in saving American lives during active combat, proving itself an indispensable piece of equipment for soldiers facing danger.
A young soldier named Carpen is sent ahead with a trained war dog, Kurt, to scout dangerous jungle terrain during combat operations—but his panic and self-doubt threaten to undermine the very training that's supposed to keep him alive. When Kurt's instincts detect hidden enemy positions, Carpen must learn to trust both his partner and himself before his unit walks into a deadly ambush.
Corporal Turzic, a wounded marine recovering in Ward 5 on a remote island, finds his quiet refuge shattered when Japanese troops land in a surprise raid—and with no able-bodied combat troops to defend the position, he and the other recovering patients must hide in the caves or risk capture. When word comes that the prisoners are slated for transport, Turzic sees his chance: armed with stolen weapons and a ragtag squad of fellow patients, he plans a daring counterattack against the occupying force. This 1959 war tale brings the fight back to the men of Ward 5, proving that even the wounded can strike back when it counts.
