Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #147

A harrowing cover by Dick Ayers and John Severin sets the stakes immediately: Sgt. Fury, clad in prisoner's stripes and on his knees with hands bound, stares down the barrel of a German soldier's weapon inside what is unmistakably a prison camp, while fellow Howling Commandos and Happy Sam Sawyer stand similarly captive behind him. The cover copy declares the Howlers are prisoners of war, making "Triumph at Treblinka" one of the more sobering and dramatically charged entries in the series' 1978 run. Gary Friedrich's script, brought to life by the Ayers and Severin art team, promises the kind of tense, high-stakes wartime storytelling that kept this series going strong for nearly 15 years.
