Our Fighting Forces #178

Joe Kubert's cover for this 1978 DC issue delivers an immediate gut-punch: four members of the Losers — two soldiers in combat gear, a figure in civilian clothes, and a young woman — stand lined up against a burning backdrop, facing a firing squad's rifle barrels aimed squarely at them. A naval officer at left barks "Ready… Aim…" while one of the condemned mutters in disbelief that their own leader is executing them. Featuring the lead story "Last Drop for the Losers" plus the bonus tale "The Killer Captains," this is a tense, atmospheric entry in DC's long-running war anthology from Robert Kanigher and George Evans.
