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.

As kids, one boy wanted to be a tanker, the other a sub commander. Come WW2, they get the opposite commands. But the sub commander gets stranded by low tide and fights a "tank battle" with a Japanese tank ashore, finally "sinking" the tank. Meanwhile, the tank commander has a bridge torpedoed out from under his tank. Sunk, he uses a bazooka to blow up the Nazi sub. Each writes to the other of his experience, and both think they have "battle fatigue"!
