This anthology issue contains two war stories. "Don't Call Me Yella!" follows Sergeant Meeks, who struggles to prove his courage in combat after being labeled a coward by his unit. "The Secret Weapon" depicts a tank crew on Saipan during World War II who, after exhausting their ammunition battling Japanese forces, devise an ingenious solution using a fire extinguisher to disable the enemy tank. Additionally, an untitled story about French Guerrilla Forces in World War II, titled "They Won Their War," is advertised but its contents are not fully visible in the provided pages.

Contains 5 stories
Don't Call Me Yella!
7 pp · War

A soldier named Sid Kehoe struggles under the harsh scrutiny of Sergeant Meeks, who has doubted his courage since arriving in Korea—but a dangerous reconnaissance mission and a moment of truth finally reveal what kind of soldier Kehoe really is. Written by the Charlton Comics editorial team, "Don't Call Me Yella!" is a tense Korean War tale about proving yourself when nobody believes in you. Through months of combat and constant tension between the two men, Kehoe and Meeks discover far more about each other than either expected.

The Secret Weapon
1 pp · War

A tank crew fighting through Saipan runs low on ammunition as the enemy presses closer, forcing them to improvise with an unconventional tool to turn the tide. "The Secret Weapon" delivers a clever bit of wartime ingenuity that proves resourcefulness can be just as powerful as firepower.

The Silent Enemy
5 pp · War

PFC. Rajeski thought he'd conquered every enemy in Korea—until a routine scouting mission forces him to confront the one foe he's feared his entire life. Lying exposed in sub-zero darkness while directing artillery strikes, the soldier who survived bullets and shrapnel must battle the numbing cold itself in "The Silent Enemy," a war story that proves the deadliest threats aren't always armed. His obsession with dry socks and survival discipline becomes his only weapon against the frozen night.

The Rear Echelon Hero
6 pp · War
They Won Their War
5 pp · War

During the brutal Nazi occupation of France, a Gestapo officer named Platzgauletier Ernst von Braun terrorized the French Resistance until D-Day brought American forces and Allied agents into the fight. Captain Kendall teams up with the Maquis to track down von Braun and seize his intelligence files during a coordinated air raid, setting in motion a tense pursuit as the Nazi officer attempts to flee. The French people Von Braun once ruled with an iron fist have their own reckoning in mind when they corner him on the road out of town.
