New Heroic Comics #73 is an anthology of true-life heroic stories featuring tales of real men and women performing daring actions in hazardous circumstances. Featured stories include "Explosion," in which aircraft mechanic Mr. Hajek risks his life to refill oxygen tanks on a grounded plane to enable its takeoff, and "After the Ball," depicting Navy gunners aboard a merchant ship during wartime who play a game of craps with a lull shell casing, with one crew member diving into the ocean to retrieve it after it goes overboard. The issue also includes "Cpl. Delisle," a war story showing a corporal's machine gun fire repelling an enemy attack despite overwhelming odds and the forced withdrawal of his unit.
