“The Gunner and the Nurse!”

In "The Gunner and the Nurse!", two weary soldiers on a Pacific island during WWII find their focus shifting from the battlefield to an unexpected new mission—protecting a spirited blonde nurse, all while their rivalry for her attention heats up under fire. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1960 issue captures the tension and camaraderie of war with a touch of personal drama. The cover, a striking collaboration by Joe Kubert, sets the scene with intensity and flair.
