Our Fighting Forces #153

DC's war anthology spotlights the Losers — Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner, and Sarge — in this 1975 issue centered on a mission involving a massive enemy cannon called "Big Max," visible on the cover as a looming Nazi gun barrel dominating the battlefield sky. Jack Kirby's cover pencils (inked by D. Bruce Berry) pack in the full team under fire, clutching weapons and a pulpy science-fiction comic book labeled "The Devastator" — their unlikely "secret weapon" against the giant artillery piece. It's a wonderfully offbeat Kirby composition, blending gritty WWII action with a wink of absurdist humor that makes this issue hard to put down.
