Combat #4
In "Min ven er gul," a lone sergeant haunted by survival guilt trudges through a frozen battlefield, haunted by the quiet question of what else he’s meant to do before his story ends. Written by Howard Liss and illustrated by Jack Abel, this gripping wartime tale follows his desperate, heroic journey through snow and fire—saving comrades, destroying enemy machines, and guiding green recruits to safety before a final stand. The cover by Russ Heath captures the grim beauty of the moment, a silent testament to sacrifice.
In the frozen silence after an explosion wipes out his squad, a lone sergeant trudges through snow, haunted by the quiet question: "Something else I'm supposed to do before they pick up my dogtags?" His path becomes a series of desperate acts—taking down a machine nest, freeing trapped tankers, shooting down a plane—each one a quiet defiance. When he finds a group of lost green recruits, he sends them to safety, staying behind to hold off the Nazis. They find his body, and one whispers, "Look at the smile on his face!"
