Our Fighting Forces #170

Joe Kubert's cover for this December 1976 issue sets up a tense wartime dilemma: Capt. Storm, Johnny Cloud, Gunner, and Sarge stand grim-faced over a fallen woman clutching a submachine gun, while the blunt caption demands — "One of you must execute this spy! Who will it be?" It's a striking moral gut-punch of an image that captures everything DC's war comics did best in this era. Writer Robert Kanigher and artist George Evans bring "A Bullet for the General" to life inside, promising the kind of hard-edged WWII drama that made The Losers one of the most compelling units in comics.
