In "Island of Armored Giants!", a Normandy village lies submerged after a dam is bombed, its fate tied to a secret signal sent by Marie to England. A reluctant frogman is dropped in to investigate, only to find himself navigating flooded streets and evading Nazi frogmen while uncovering a hidden submarine tunnel beneath the ruins. Written by Bob Haney and illustrated by Irv Novick, with a striking cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this wartime thriller blends suspense and underwater danger in a story where every shadow hides a threat—and a surprise.

In "No Ammo for 'A' Company!", a young soldier is sent back to retrieve supplies, dodging machine gun fire to return with ammo—only to find the battle already lost. With the line broken and weapons empty, he loads the rifles of fallen comrades and stands ready as the enemy advances. When he runs out of bullets, he prepares for a desperate bayonet charge just as help arrives. How did men hold the line with empty guns? "Then they looked at my face and got the answer!"
