In "A Baby!", Harvey Kurtzman delivers a sharp, wry wartime tale from the front lines of Her Majesty's Army in India, where Corporal Tubridy’s patience finally snaps during bayonet drills. With a mix of deadpan humor and vivid detail, the story unfolds as Tubridy steps in to demonstrate the Haymaker's Lift—then launches into a memory of a tense drum call during a past campaign. Rendered with Kurtzman’s signature precision and brought to life by Marie Severin’s crisp coloring, this 1953 EC classic captures military absurdity with a touch of melancholy. The cover, by John Severin and Bill Elder, sets the tone with its stark, expressive style.

In a tense clash of cultures and borders, Geronimo and his band push deep into Mexico, evading both Mexican forces and American outposts along the Arizona frontier. As the legend of the Apache leader grows, so does the fear he inspires—until, after months of running, he chooses surrender, marking the end of his resistance.
