"Perimeter!" is a gripping tale from EC’s Frontline Combat #15 (1954), written and illustrated by Jack Davis, with inks by Davis, colors by Marie Severin, and lettering by Ben Oda. Set along the Redbud River, it follows Colonel Custer’s unit as they face a sudden Sioux ambush, plunging one soldier into a tense, shifting game of survival and deception. The cover, by Wally Wood, captures the moment’s intensity, while the story unfolds with quiet dread as a captured man finds himself in a tepee with an unexpected guest—his own stolen hat now worn by his former foe.

In the tense, grueling heat of the Korean front, Private Miller grumbles through another day of combat, frustrated by the constant push to work alongside ROK troops and downright annoyed by his comrade Matthews, who reads the Bible between firefights. As the perimeter holds and the war drags on, Miller’s simmering resentment begins to strain under the weight of duty and division.

In "McCudden!" from Frontline Combat #15 (1954), the story follows the remarkable rise of a once-quiet bugler and mechanic who transforms into a daring pilot and commander of the famed 56th Squadron, carving a legendary path through the skies with 58 aerial victories—until fate intervenes in a moment that changes everything.

Colonel Tom CusterU.S. Cavalry soldiers (many die)Sioux Indians (villains, many die)

In "Vengeful Sioux!", a lone soldier from Colonel Custer’s unit finds himself caught between survival and suspicion after a surprise attack along the Redbud River. When a wounded man pretends to be dead and is spared by a Sioux warrior who only takes his cap, the tension escalates as he returns to camp—only to be welcomed by the same enemy, offered shelter in a tepee, and confronted by the very man he bested, now wearing his hat and holding a tomahawk.
