Star Spangled War Stories #3
In "Small Town Welcome," a 2014 issue of Star Spangled War Stories, a missile's deadly payload unleashes a terrifying transformation across rural Tennessee, turning people and animals into something unrecognizable. As Carmen, still operating undercover, is led toward another hidden facility, the quiet town becomes a battleground of fear and the unknown. Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and illustrated by Scott Hampton—whose distinctive art brings the eerie atmosphere to life—this story is a gripping blend of wartime tension and supernatural dread. The cover, by Darwyn Cooke, captures the unsettling mood with striking precision.
