Cole Black #3

In "Shifting Sands," Cole Black finds himself trapped in a Nazi military hospital deep in North Africa, where the lines between enemy and ally blur under the desert sun. With Lily Pond and her USO troop held captive by the elusive El Zurdo and his raiders, and Fred and Fatty wandering lost in the endless dunes, the stakes rise in this tense, atmospheric chapter. Written and illustrated by Rocky Hartberg, this 1987 issue delivers a gripping blend of wartime intrigue and survival, all rendered in Hartberg’s distinctive style. The cover by Rocky Hartberg captures the desert’s harsh beauty and the looming danger just beyond the sand.
