In "Sidekick!", Lt. John Hamilton’s past echoes into the present when the German ship Dorn—sunk by his father in World War I—resurfaces during World War II, forcing his son to confront a legacy he never asked for. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with dynamic art by Irv Novick, this gripping wartime tale blends duty, destiny, and the weight of history. The cover by Jerry Grandenetti captures the tension with a striking, period-accurate image of the returning vessel.

In "Battle Parade," a weary American soldier walks through a quiet French village, the echoes of yesterday’s fierce battle still ringing in his mind as he marches in a victory parade. The weight of memory lingers with each step, the past and present colliding in the hushed streets of a place once torn by war.
