Contains 4 stories
Call of Courage
10 pp · War

Jeb Buckley Jr., the son of a legendary Marine hero, struggles to prove himself in his father’s old outfit, facing skepticism and mockery from his fellow Marines. When a dangerous patrol goes awry and he’s captured by enemy forces, his fear and past insecurities are tested as his unit must decide how to respond—especially when his own actions may have led them into the trap.

Behind Enemy Lines!
5 pp · War

Monty Hall, a Marine reporter, is flown with pilot Josh Post on a reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines during a critical push to reclaim lost territory. When their plane is shot down, they’re rescued by a mysterious old man named Koona, who hides them in his cart and helps them evade enemy patrols while they wait to be rescued. As they navigate the danger, Monty and Josh must rely on Koona’s cunning—and a few clever tricks—to survive the treacherous terrain and stay one step ahead of the enemy.

The Big Brain
8 pp · War

Monty Hall, Tex, and Canarsie, newly returned from Korea, are assigned to guard Henry Proto, a famed atomic scientist who escaped from behind the Iron Curtain. When a pair of men claiming to be from Military Intelligence arrive, Monty grows suspicious—especially when one of them calls him a "soldier," sparking a tense confrontation that reveals a shocking deception.

One Hunnert Percent Female!!
5 pp · Humor, War

Pin-Up Pete, the Marine Corps’ self-proclaimed ladies’ man, shares a series of humorous encounters with the women he meets at a shipyard, each more absurd than the last. From a drill operator whose precision goes awry, to a painter who exits through the wrong door—only to be mistaken for a sailor by a big ape—each story plays on the comedic clash between wartime routine and unexpected romance. With a mix of playful banter and slapstick mishaps, Pete recounts these tales with charm, never quite sure if he’s being flirted with—or outwitted.
