Our Army at War #88

This November 1959 DC war title delivers a visceral cover by Joe Kubert: a badly wounded soldier — head bandaged, leg wrapped — fires his weapon from the jungle floor while shouting "Keep goin'! I'll hold 'em!" to his squadmates pushing through the dense foliage behind him. The sheer grit captured in that one defiant moment makes the featured story title, "The Hard Way!" — a new Easy Co. battle tale written by Robert Kanigher and drawn by Jerry Grandenetti — feel perfectly earned. Round it out with the promise of additional battle-action stories, and this ten-cent issue packs a serious punch.
