"5 Hours 'til Dawn!" from Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Battlefield #1 (2011) captures a gripping moment in a young cook’s life when he’s thrust into combat, far from the kitchen. Drawn by Werner Roth, whose expressive art brings the tension to life, the story follows Danny as he faces the weight of war and discovers a courage he never knew he had. The cover, by Carl Burgos, sets the mood with a stark, evocative image that echoes the story’s intensity.
