☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Goliath of the Western Front!", a nervous young GI named Davy finds himself tested in ways he never expected when a massive German secret weapon— a towering Stormtrooper robot— emerges on the battlefield. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life with dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1960 issue blends wartime grit with a classic tale of underdog triumph. The cover by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito captures the moment the robot looms over the terrified soldiers, setting the stage for a tense, inventive showdown.
In "Goliath of the Western Front!" from *Star Spangled War Stories* #93, a skeptical squad of GIs mocks Davy for his height—until the Sarge recalls the tale of David and Goliath. When a massive German Stormtrooper robot suddenly emerges, the men scramble to find a weakness, but the machine shrugs off everything from aerial attacks to river traps. Davy, taking point, makes a desperate shot into the robot’s boot sole—just in time to bring the giant down. As the machine crashes, he grins, "All I was doing was to keep another big joker off my back!"
In Korea, Never-Fail Nelson pilots a Sabre jet on a mission to destroy an impossible bridge—only to be shot down before he can strike. With the bridge gone and no sign of him, the truth unfolds: Nelson crash-landed, evaded Korean soldiers, commandeered their truck, and used dynamite to bring the bridge down. His unorthodox tactics prove once again that "Never-Fail" never fails.
In the scorching Sahara, a small group of GIs known as Baseball Patrol finds themselves outmatched by a relentless German Tiger tank. When a real mosquito disrupts the enemy gunner’s focus, the tide turns—just as a P-38 Lightning plane delivers the final blow.
