Fever Ridge: A Tale of MacArthur's Jungle War #3

The cover of this third issue from IDW's Fever Ridge: A Tale of MacArthur's Jungle War pulls no punches — a tight cluster of helmeted soldiers hunkered down in jungle terrain, rifles raised and aimed, their faces taut with the desperate intensity of close-quarters combat. Crimson arrows and foliage frame the chaotic scene in a bold, unsettling palette of deep reds and earthy golds that gives the whole image a fever-dream urgency perfectly suited to the series' title. If you're drawn to grounded, historically rooted war storytelling set in the Pacific theater, this 2013 IDW series deserves a spot on your reading list.
