“A Bazooka for Babyface!”

In "A Bazooka for Babyface!", a lone Marine named Jim Lucas faces the final Japanese assault on a Pacific island, sealing a heartfelt note to his son Eddie in a canteen and sending it into the sea.

Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with dynamic art by Jerry Grandenetti, with lettering by Joe Letterese, this powerful wartime tale unfolds with quiet intensity, anchored by a poignant connection across the waves. The cover, a striking piece by Joe Kubert, captures the moment of discovery with haunting clarity.

Jim Lucas, a lone Marine on a Pacific island, awaiting a final Japanese attack, writes a note to his son Eddie Lucas and puts it in a canteen and throws it in the ocean. As fate would have it, his son was on a landing craft on the other side of the island that is hit by a mine. The only survivor is Eddie Lucas, who finds the canteen with his name on it and goes on a one-man rampage that reunites him with his father.
