In "Dinosaur D-Day!", a weary lieutenant and sergeant lead a ragtag squad tasked with cleaning up a war-torn island—only to find themselves facing a prehistoric threat when dinosaurs suddenly emerge from stranded landing craft. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1963 tale blends wartime grit with unexpected sci-fi absurdity, as the soldiers defend their position using scrap weapons and a captured Japanese tank. The cover, also by Andru and Esposito, captures the moment the dinosaurs rise from the surf—pure, pulpy adventure in a 12-cent package.

In a tense moment before D-Day, a frightened lieutenant leaps into battle—only to wake in 732 AD, face-to-face with Charles Martel at the height of the Battle of Tours. With a jammed gun and no time to think, he uses his knowledge of the mill dam to turn the tide, then blacks out and lands back on the same field, now under Nazi assault. Remembering what he’d lived through, he acts fast—this time with a bazooka—and changes the course of the day.
