In "The Bunch," a World War II bomber crashes behind enemy lines in occupied France, stranding its crew in a tense, high-stakes race to safety—though the real danger might not come from the enemy, but from the pilot and co-pilot’s escalating feud. Written by Dick DeBartolo and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair by Mort Drucker, this EC Comics satire delivers biting humor and suspense in equal measure. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the story’s darkly comic tension in bold, dramatic lines.
