Our Fighting Forces #142

DC's long-running war anthology spotlights the Losers — Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner & Sarge — in this 1973 issue featuring the story "1/2 a Man." Joe Kubert's cover is immediately arresting: Capt. Storm stands at the bow of a small boat, prosthetic leg visible beneath his yellow gear, cradling a rescued survivor while bodies of fallen soldiers litter the jungle shoreline behind him — his caption promising he'll prove he's no less of a man than anyone on the battlefield. Writer Robert Kanigher and artist John Severin bring their signature grit to the interior, making this a compelling entry in one of DC's most enduring combat titles.
