Our Fighting Forces #87

This October 1964 issue of Our Fighting Forces features a Joe Kubert cover that crackles with Pacific Theater tension — soldier Gunner raises his rifle against a strafing Japanese plane while a large military dog, Pooch, looms prominently in the foreground alongside Sarge, all set against a backdrop of fire and crashing wreckage. The cover's speech balloon ("Sarge! — Pooch! — Dive! This buzzard's not stopping!") captures the trio's desperate, split-second peril beautifully. Inside, Robert Kanigher and Jack Abel bring "Battle of the Boobytraps!" to life, making this a solid entry in DC's long-running war anthology featuring one of its most distinctive combat teams — a sergeant, a marine, and their loyal K-9 companion.
