☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Vision," Mac Stringer's courage is tested during the aftermath of the attack on the U.S.S. Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, where he risks everything to save trapped sailors—only to face the harsh reality of racial discrimination when his efforts go unrecognized. Written and illustrated by Sam Glanzman, this powerful story from Our Army at War #247 (1972) captures a pivotal moment in a young man's fight for dignity and purpose. The cover by Joe Kubert vividly portrays the intensity of the scene, setting the tone for a narrative rooted in resilience and quiet defiance.
In "Color Me Brave!", Mac Stringer proves his courage during the chaotic rescue of sailors from the U.S.S. Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, yet despite his bravery, he’s still denied any role beyond Steward—his service unrecognized due to the color of his skin.
In "Old Soldiers Never Run," Rock faces a difficult decision when he plans to pull an aging sergeant from the front lines, unsure if the man’s years are weighing him down—until the sudden arrival of an enemy tank forces a reckoning. The story captures a tense moment in the heat of war, where experience and instinct collide with duty and doubt.
