Our Fighting Forces #84

DC's long-running war anthology delivers a gripping scene on this 1964 issue, with Gunner and Sarge caught in a tense, ground-level standoff as a enemy aircraft streaks overhead amid smoke and explosions. The cover — rendered by Joe Kubert — pulls you right into the danger, with Sarge's weathered face dominating the foreground while his partner shouts a warning about booby-traps threatening to erupt beneath them. Robert Kanigher and Jerry Grandenetti bring the interior story, "The Gun of Shame!," promising the kind of hard-edged WWII action that made Our Fighting Forces a staple of the era.
