“A Platoon!”

In "A Platoon!", Harvey Kurtzman’s stark, powerful storytelling takes center stage as a trio of espionage agents drops behind enemy lines in 1952, only to face a harrowing discovery when one of their own is found dead in a tree—his parachute tangled in the branches, his identity a shocking betrayal. Kurtzman’s intense, precise art and inks, joined by Marie Severin’s bold coloring, bring a chilling realism to this wartime mystery, where loyalty is the first casualty. The cover, also by Kurtzman, captures the tension with a single, haunting image.

The story of a tough Army cook, Bellyrobber Boon, who finds a young Korean orphan boy in his tent, and who gradually bonds with the child, whom he names Shnooker, changing his whole disposition. Then, one day, a band of North Korean soldiers sneak into the mess tent and kill all of Boon's cooks, as well as little Shnooker for which Boon kills all of the enemy soldiers. But that changes Boon's whole demeanor and he becomes the hard-boiled Sarge the soldiers once knew.
