Frontline Combat #4

In "Combat Medic!", Harvey Kurtzman crafts a tense, atmospheric tale set during the American Revolution, where a lone medic named Eben relies on his trusty whale-oil lantern to navigate a storm-lashed beach at Barnegat. With his daughter Alicia's lover missing and the enemy lurking in the shadows, Eben's quiet resolve is tested when he uses his lantern to guide a British ship onto the rocks. The next morning, as father and daughter search the wreckage, a shocking discovery awaits—Alicia finds the body of the man she thought was lost. Harvey Kurtzman’s masterful storytelling and art, both on interior pages and cover, bring this gripping moment to life with stark, evocative detail.
