The Complete Frontline Combat #2

"A Platoon!" delivers a harrowing, unflinching look at the brutal calculus of war, drawn with stark precision by John Severin and written by Harvey Kurtzman, whose sharp storytelling cuts through the noise of combat. The story follows a group of Japanese soldiers cornered in a cave, facing overwhelming odds and a grim choice—fight to the death or face capture. With Kurtzman’s cover pencils and inks adding a haunting finality, this 1982 issue stands as a powerful, understated moment in the series’ unvarnished portrayal of frontline conflict.
