Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #148

The cover by Dick Ayers and John Severin captures pure wartime urgency: a battle-hardened sergeant hurls himself across the foreground, rifle in hand, while behind him a full squad of Howling Commandos charges out of a large pipe or tunnel, weapons ready and expressions fierce. Explosions flare in the background, setting the stage for the story titled "To the Bastions of Bavaria" — a mission that promises to take Fury and his men deep into enemy territory. This 1978 Marvel issue, with interior work from the same artistic team of Ayers and Severin, delivers exactly the gritty WWII action the series has always done so well.
