In "How I Won the War!!", Gilbert Shelton delivers his signature absurdist satire as Sergeant Death and his eccentric patrol are sent on a mission to neutralize a doomsday ICBM in China—because, apparently, that’s the only way to save America. With Shelton handling every aspect of the art, inks, letters, and cover, this 1987 Rip Off Comix entry is a gloriously unhinged ride from page one.

Sergeant Death and his unlikely squad roll into China on a mission that’s equal parts absurd and apocalyptic: stop an intercontinental ballistic missile before it turns the entire U.S. into a smudge on the map. Written with razor-sharp satire and drawn in a deadpan, grotesque style, this 11-page tale from *Rip Off Comix #14* turns war into a dark comedy of bureaucratic dread and over-the-top military incompetence.
