Combat Kelly #16

In the tense aftermath of a mission gone wrong, Combat Kelly finds himself captured by the Red Chinese, forced to navigate treacherous terrain and enemy lines. With only his wits and determination, he orchestrates a daring escape that sets off a chain of events leading to the capture of Colonel Ti-Tong and his men—alongside the elusive Yalu River Rosie.

In "Banzai," Combat Kelly faces a test of strength and loyalty when Major Thorn sends him into battle with the enigmatic Yamakayaka. What unfolds is a whirlwind of raw power—Yamakayaka wielding twin machine guns, heaving a jeep from the mud, and dismantling enemy armor with nothing but brute force and sheer will. As Kelly watches in stunned disbelief, the question isn't whether Yamakayaka can fight—it's whether he should be unleashed as a one-man division.

In "Cookie an' the Commies!", Cookie, a young soldier lost in a moment of quiet, finds himself suddenly thrust into a battle against a squad of Red Chinese soldiers—only to dispatch them with surprising ease. Back to his comic book, he flips through the pages of *Combat Casey*, quietly wishing he could be as brave and gutsy as the hero he admires.

In "null," Combat Kelly tracks down Yalu River Rosie after her escape from the stockade, only to find her with reinforcements poised to strike his camp. With time running out, Kelly outmaneuvers her, secures her once more, and races back to safety just as the bombardment begins—leaving the Americans to take cover in the chaos.
