Fightin' Marines #5

Sergeant Jack Rogers returns to Tokyo on furlough only to discover his battlefield buddy, Marine Corporal Tim Dennison, has vanished—with only a cryptic connection to a white Russian dancer named Olga as his lead. As Jack pursues the trail through Tokyo's shadowy streets, he uncovers a sinister plot involving a dangerous ex-convict named Kuramoto, and finds himself racing against time to save his friend from a deadly scheme rooted in Cold War espionage.

Marine Sgt. Phil Corcoran stumbles upon a clandestine operation when he witnesses agents of the Formosan Red Underground rendezvousing with a mysterious sampan on a typhoon-ravaged beach—and barely escapes their gunfire. Determined to uncover what contraband is being smuggled ashore, he shadows the pair as they haul packages inland, then takes a daring gamble to keep them pinned down while he races back for reinforcements. What Corcoran discovers in those parcels will prove far more dangerous to the Nationalist cause than any conventional weapons.

When Canteen Kate accidentally damages a stack of pin-up photographs belonging to Major Herringbone, she comes up with a bold plan: she'll pose for replacement pictures herself. But as Kate and her friend Al chase around camp trying to photograph her in increasingly ridiculous locations, they keep stumbling directly into the Major's way—with hilariously disastrous consequences that threaten to land them both in serious trouble.

When Marine Privates Danny Blake and Pat Fogarty discover their bazooka rockets are duds—failing to explode on impact—they're sent to test the faulty ammunition in a remote valley. But what begins as an ordnance problem becomes a desperate fight for survival when they stumble upon enemy soldiers using an old coal mine tunnel to slip behind Marine lines and outflank their battalion. Blake and Fogarty must hold the line with unreliable weapons and cunning to stop the entire Red force from breaking through.

Marine Sergeant "Tripoli" Shores and his squad man "Arky" Woods volunteer for a desperate mission: surrender to North Korean forces and scout for a hidden enemy air base. Posing as captured Marines, they infiltrate a P.O.W. camp and escape into hostile territory, where quick thinking and camouflage become their only weapons as they race to locate the secret installation before the enemy closes in.
