“The Haunted Beach”

In "The Haunted Beach," Sgt. Danbury finds himself trapped on a beach at Anzio, pinned down by enemy fire, until a vivid dream of a long-forgotten Roman battalion offers him a desperate idea. Written and illustrated by Bill Ely, with lettering by Stan Starkman, this 1962 DC tale blends wartime tension with a haunting historical echo—where past and present collide in a moment of survival. The cover, also by Bill Ely, captures the eerie stillness of the beach under a watchful sky.
