The volume gathers the complete six-issue miniseries, offering a modern take on these forgotten heroes of the battlefield.
"Kill Me with Wagner" is a striking entry in Jack Kirby’s The Losers series, showcasing the creator’s signature blend of psychological tension and wartime grit. With Kirby writing and drawing the core story, and John Severin contributing art, the issue follows the Losers as they set up an observation post alongside the tormented Major Geoffrey Soames—whose nightmares spiral into tragedy when fear overwhelms him during a desperate retreat beneath a ruined Japanese temple. The cover, penciled by Kirby and inked by Mike Royer, captures the moment’s haunting intensity.
In "Bushido!", the Losers face off against the relentless Colonel Toshiro Yamashita in a high-stakes mission to buy time for a critical marine assault. With precision and grit, they must hold the line long enough to ensure the success of a daring parachute drop and a coordinated ground strike.
In "Panama Fattie!" from Jack Kirby's The Losers, the team is sent to Panama to track down missing supplies—only to uncover a traitor hiding in plain sight. When they confront Panama Fattie, the local figure with a surprising past, the mission takes a deadly turn as secrets unravel and betrayal becomes personal.
In "Bombing Out on the Panama Canal," Jack Kirby's The Losers—still bound by their past—find themselves facing execution as the Japanese prepare to destroy the Panama Canal. With newfound freedom, they race to stop a deadly plane from completing its mission, guided by the mysterious Panama Fattie.
In "Mile-a-Minute" Jones!, the Losers intercept a high-stakes mission to capture General Kessel—only to stumble upon a forgotten legend when they rescue champion runner Henry Jones from his rival, Bruno Borman. With Borman now loose, Jones is thrust back into the memory of their fateful race at the Berlin Olympics, where speed and pride collided under the weight of history.
In "Ivan," the Losers—posing as SS agents in Nazi-occupied Russia—face a harrowing moral test when a desperate mother and her son offer safe passage in exchange for their help. The story takes a grim turn when the truth behind their promise is revealed, forcing the team to confront the cost of survival and justice in the shadows of war.
In "Gung-Ho!", Gunner takes on the unexpected role of mentor, training a group of French orphans to fight alongside him as Marines, while Storm and Cloud press a Nazi prisoner for intelligence. When the enemy launches a sudden assault on the town, Gunner’s makeshift unit must rise to the challenge—defending their new home with courage forged in the crucible of war.
