The main story, "Ambush in Viet Nam," follows PFC Moore, who is herded into the jungle during a village firefight while injured, and a fellow medic named Paul. An enemy soldier demands to know the location of U.S. Marines taken to a nearby village, threatening to kill them unless Moore reveals where the men are held. Moore and Paul attempt to locate the 500 Marines positioned northwest near Narrow Stream, with the goal of leading them back to rescue the captured men. The Chinese Red Army is revealed to have led the way to the Viet Nam headquarters where the prisoners are being held. Throughout their mission, Marines including Frankie Dill and Corporal Lukoski work to locate Big Luke and navigate the dangerous enemy territory while contending with limited ammunition.

Contains 4 stories
Ambush in Viet Nam
8 pp · War

A Marine jeep hits a booby trap on a village road, and Medic Paul Willis is dragged into the jungle by Viet Cong fighters—leaving PFC. Moore alive but alone. Moore pursues his captured comrade through dense jungle terrain, forced to outthink an enemy fighting on their home ground while racing against time to reach Willis before it's too late. What Moore discovers in the village ahead will test everything he's learned about jungle warfare and his own instincts about who can be trusted.

Night Raid at Guadalcanal
8 pp · War

When Cpl. Luke Lukoski and Pfc. Frankie Dill stumble onto Japanese forces during a jungle reconnaissance at Guadalcanal, Lukoski stays behind to hold off the enemy while Dill escapes to report their discovery. Alone behind enemy lines, Lukoski discovers the fighting spirit of a Marine outmatches the jungle terrain itself—and when Dill hears his buddy's Thompson gun echoing through the night, he sets out to find him. Together, the two leathernecks take the fight directly to a Japanese supply camp in a desperate raid that proves American grit can turn the tide even in the deepest enemy territory.

Able Company's Last Charge
4 pp · War

Major Abe Redrow and Able Company have been fighting a brutal uphill battle against overwhelming Communist forces on Shinbone Ridge, taking heavy casualties across three brutal assaults. When reinforcements can't reach them and the main supply route is cut off, Redrow must find a way to rally his exhausted, battered men for one final push—with air support their only hope of breaking the stalemate. What emerges is a story of Marine determination in the face of seemingly impossible odds, told with the gritty realism that made war comics of this era so memorable.

The Marine Air Wing
3 pp · War

Marine pilots have long been a crucial part of naval aviation, flying rugged Corsairs and other fighters with skill and precision. But their real mission goes beyond dogfighting—ground support for Marines in combat, from World War II beach landings to Korea, where pilots who understood the fight on the ground could deliver firepower exactly where it was needed most.
