Fighting Leathernecks #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains a story involving Colonel Shiro Wada and American Marines on an island, where enemy forces are loose and an alarm is sounded. The narrative includes a subplot where a Marine is trained for a special mission in Tibet and receives romantic advice about approaching women, specifically instructed to appeal to "The Venus Type" by flattering her eyes and romantic ideals. Action sequences depict combat between the Marines and enemy forces, including hand-to-hand fighting and physical confrontations.
Patrick Michael Quigley and Marmaduke (The Duke) Beals—two irrepressible buddies with a knack for trouble and a flair for the dramatic—enlist in the United States Marine Corps, only to find themselves on a Pacific Island where a stubborn Japanese garrison still refuses to surrender. As the two navigate the chaos of combat, camaraderie, and their own misadventures, they must prove their mettle in a war that’s already ended for everyone else.
When Pfc. Patrick Michael Quigley and Pfc. Marmaduke Beals return to Hawaii expecting rest, they're thrown into secret mission training instead—and things get even more complicated when a beautiful hostess named Lani shows up. As the two marines compete for her attention, Quigley finds himself tangled up in far more than a love triangle, uncovering a dangerous web of espionage operating right under their noses.
