Fight Comics #85
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFight Comics #85 is an anthology featuring multiple military action stories. "Rip Carson" follows a Marine sergeant and his unit as they hold a ridge position against enemy attack, with dialogue dismissing their opponents before coming under heavy bombardment and being forced to retreat. "Attila" depicts the fifth-century Hun leader's invasion of the Roman Empire in 450 A.D., with evil portents in the sky alarming Rome's leadership as Attila's forces cross into Gaul. A third story features "Rip Carson" again as a pilot in a dragon squadron that engages enemy aircraft in aerial combat, successfully downing three enemy MiGs with one pilot capturing two planes from an enemy airfield.
When American commandos from Unit Nine parachute into occupied Korea to destroy enemy submarine pens, they find their ROK guerrilla allies broken and unwilling to fight again—until an inspired plan involving a sacred ancestral vessel rekindles the fighters' fury. With explosives in hand and new allies at their side, Rogers and his demolition crew must push toward their objective before the enemy base can be reinforced. "Retreat!" shows how courage—and strategy—can turn a losing battle into something far different.
In 450 A.D., Attila the Hun leads a massive army westward from beyond the Danube, laying waste to cities across Gaul and threatening the very heart of Roman civilization. When the outnumbered Roman legions and their Visigoth allies meet Attila on the plains of Chalons, the fate of the entire Western world hangs in the balance—but an even greater test awaits when Attila's forces return a year later and come face to face with Pope Leo at the gates of Rome. This war epic from Fight Comics #85 pits barbaric conquest against faith and strategy in one of history's most pivotal confrontations.
Lieutenant Fred Kern boards a new rocket launcher crewed by inexperienced sailors plagued by accidents and low morale—but when the ship is ordered on a dangerous solo mission to draw enemy fire off the Korean coast, the untested crew faces its ultimate test. As Red coastal guns close in and radar stations light up the night sky, Kern discovers that men facing a common enemy can find strength they never knew they possessed. A taut war story about how crisis can forge unexpected unity where training alone could not.
