Our Fighting Forces #67

Pooch takes center stage on this April 1962 DC war book, with the K-9 military dog looming large in the foreground, clutching a grenade in his bandaged jaws while a wounded soldier beneath him urges him to pull the pin as enemy troops close in behind them. Jerry Grandenetti's cover work captures both the desperation of a last stand and the remarkable bond between a soldier and his dog with striking, up-close intensity. Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick bring the TNT Trio — Gunner, Sarge, and Pooch — to life inside, promising the kind of frontline action and heart that made this series a standout in DC's early-'60s war lineup.
