Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders #8

Marvel's gritty WWII series hits its eighth issue with "Mission: Foul Ball!" — and the cover by Dick Ayers and Syd Shores puts you right in the thick of it, as Captain Savage and two of his Leatherneck Raiders press against a stone wall, rifles ready, while a chaotic brawl unfolds through the window behind them. The tropical setting and tense body language capture everything that made this 1968 series a solid entry in Marvel's war comics lineup — scrappy soldiers in a tight spot, with the outcome hanging in the balance.
