Our Fighting Forces #137

Joe Kubert's cover for this 1972 DC war title delivers a genuinely arresting image: a bare-chested, paint-daubed figure stands atop a bombshell emblazoned "The Losers," arms raised as a red fighter plane bears down on him, shouting "I command you to stop!" while Gunner and Sarge watch in alarm from below, fearing Captain Cloud has lost his mind. The Losers — Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner, and Sarge — are front and center in "God of the Losers!," a story brought to life by the team of Robert Kanigher and John Severin. At 52 big pages for just 25 cents, this issue packed serious bang-for-the-buck into every installment of DC's gritty World War II anthology.
