Our Fighting Forces #169

DC's long-running war anthology spotlights the Losers — Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner, and Sarge — in this October 1976 issue with a cover by Joe Kubert that crackles with battlefield urgency. The scene throws you right into the chaos: a military jeep bursts through a shattered roadblock while soldiers scramble aboard, and in the foreground a Nazi soldier levels a pistol directly at them, muzzle flashing, as flames rage in the background. With the story titled "Welcome Home — And Die!" and Robert Kanigher writing alongside George Evans on interior art, this issue delivers exactly the gritty WWII tension the series built its reputation on.
