☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology comic containing multiple stories. "Death at Twelve O'Clock High" depicts fighter pilots in combat during the Korean War, with emphasis on the dangers airmen face in battle above East Chosen Bay. The main Jesse James story involves a conflict over a new Indian treaty at Fort Kearney; when Jesse learns the government plans to deliver the treaty document to the fort, he attempts to intercept it with his gang to prevent the deal, leading to a confrontation where Jesse's men must retrieve the treaty before it reaches its destination. A third story depicts a military engagement involving UN forces, marines, and enemy counter-assault in a snowy terrain, focusing on soldiers under fire and their struggle to hold their position.
When cattle rustling and plummeting beef prices devastate the ranchers of Junius County, Jesse James and his band discover a widow's husband murdered by an unusual weapon—a needle-thin blade—and trace the crime to the wealthy Carl Taintor, who covets both the woman and her land. As Jesse warns desperate ranchers against selling to the ruthless Taintor, the rancher forces a direct confrontation, leading to a fierce hand-to-hand duel between Jesse and Taintor's knife-wielding companion.
Two Marines with a rivalry that began in boot camp—Mike Cameron and Johnnie Bishop—find themselves fighting side by side in the frozen hills of Korea, where their bickering masks a deeper bond forged under fire. When Mike is trapped behind enemy lines, Johnnie launches a daring rescue that forces both men to confront what they really mean to each other. As they fight their way back through overwhelming odds, the two discover that true military honor lies not in personal glory, but in the unshakable loyalty they've come to share.
