Big Boss #52
In "J'eus libéré la créature lumière," Bob Haney and Jack Abel deliver a poignant wartime tale of two boys whose lives diverge in unexpected ways during World War II. One, now a tank commander, finds himself stranded when his bridge is blown, while the other, a submarine officer, battles a Japanese tank on a beach at low tide—each convinced the other is the one who truly fought the war. Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff's cover captures the story's tense, reflective mood.
In "Le déluge de l'espace," an alien from another dimension recklessly disposes of radioactive waste into Earth's oceans, setting off a chain of events that forces humanity to confront the consequences of pollution on a cosmic scale. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds as a stark, early sci-fi warning about environmental collapse.
In Korea, a small squad of GIs faces three enemy tanks with nothing but grenades and Garands. Using desperate ingenuity—blowing a dam, sabotaging power lines, and smearing mud over viewports—they outwit each tank one by one. Their relentless push leads them ever closer to Tangu.
In "Combattants intervertis !" from Big Boss #52 (1961), two boys whose wartime dreams were swapped by fate find themselves commanding opposite forces in a battle that defies expectation. One, a former tanker now stranded on shore, fights a lone Japanese tank with nothing but grit and a bazooka, while the other, a sub commander whose vessel is trapped by low tide, uses a tank's firepower to strike back. Their letters to each other, filled with disbelief and shared confusion, hint at a war that has turned their roles into something neither could have imagined.
