Our Fighting Forces #163

The Losers — Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner, and Sarge — take center stage in this 1976 DC war title, shown scrambling up a rope to reach a fellow soldier perched on a skull-shaped mountain peak, a Nazi flag flying ominously above enemy troops in the distance. One of the soldiers declares they'll be safe from the Germans in "Skull Mountain," lending the cover an edge of hard-won, precarious hope. Joe Kubert's cover art captures that perfect blend of tension and determination that made DC's war books so compelling throughout the era.
