"The Soldier" in Our Army at War #239 tells the gripping true story of Captain John Cromwell, a WWII naval officer who made the ultimate sacrifice by staying behind to scuttle his own submarine and keep vital secrets from falling into enemy hands. With powerful, grounded artwork by Norman Maurer, this issue captures the quiet courage of a man who earned the Medal of Honor not through spectacle, but through duty. The cover by Joe Kubert, a master of wartime realism, perfectly frames the weight of that choice.

In "The Unsinkable Wreck!", newly minted skipper Jo takes command of a decrepit tugboat, far from the glory of a modern destroyer, sent to lure Japanese forces into a trap. As the battered vessel cuts through a river, it’s attacked by a kamikaze Zero, struck by artillery, and nearly destroyed by grenades from a collapsing bridge—each blow testing the crew’s resolve. With the sea within reach and a Japanese landing craft threatening stranded Marines, Jo must steer the wreck through chaos and fire, proving that even the most broken ship can hold its ground.
