G.I. Joe #18

When enemy tanks launch a surprise assault, Private Joe Burch, Private Farrell, and the rest of their unit scramble to mount a desperate defensive stand—outgunned and waiting for air support that seems to take forever arriving. It's a tense look at young soldiers facing overwhelming odds and their own fear in the heat of combat.

Pvt. Jim Taggert's tough exterior cracks when a fellow soldier is killed in combat, spurring him to write letters to the fallen man's mother—a connection that transforms the hardened loner in ways his unit never expected. As Taggert finds unexpected purpose in his correspondence, fate has other plans for him on the battlefield. A quiet story about how grief and human connection can reshape a soldier's heart, told across the foxholes and field hospitals of the Korean War.
