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.
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. Years later, the once-feared warrior is a quiet figure at the World’s Fair in St. Louis, selling portraits and autographs to curious crowds.
In "Napoleon!", the young French general commands the battlefield with bold strategy, outmaneuvering the combined might of Russian and Austrian troops at Austerlitz—a turning point that reshapes the course of European conflict. The story captures the intensity of war through crisp, dynamic art, bringing history’s most famous battlefield triumph to life.
In the tense aftermath of a retreat, a German Captain grapples with the sudden news of an Allied invasion at Anzio—just days after his unit abandoned the site. As he receives orders to hold the line, he's unaware that the real threat is already closing in at Cisterna, where his own position is about to be overrun.
