Frontline Combat #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
