Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders #6

The cover of this September 1968 Marvel issue tells you everything you need to know about the stakes: Captain Savage bursts through a door in a hail of gunfire, weapons blazing, while a bound prisoner — apparently the Howler the tagline promises to rescue — struggles in the foreground amid a crowd of enemy soldiers. Dick Ayers and Syd Shores pack the scene with kinetic energy, layering figures in the chaos of a desperate raid that feels like it could spill right off the page. "Mission: Save a Howler!" is a solid wartime adventure entry from Gary Friedrich that wears its do-or-die urgency right on its sleeve.
