Star Spangled War Stories #104

In "The Tree of Terror!", brothers Lou and Bill are split between a tank and a submarine during a harrowing WWII mission, their paths diverging as they face separate dangers. With a Nazi gun threatening Allied troops, the tank crew builds a log raft to cross a river, only to be swept into a deadly chase before a desperate plan triggers an avalanche to bury the enemy’s weapon. The story culminates in a surprising twist as the drifting raft suddenly rises—right atop Lou’s submarine. Jack Abel handles both pencils and inks for the interior, while Joe Letterese provides the lettering; the cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the tension with a dramatic, grounded scene.
