In "Luck!", Harvey Kurtzman and John Severin deliver a taut, wartime tale of American Rangers preparing to scale the treacherous cliffs of Pointe Du Hoe in a daring 1952 EC Comics installment. With precise art by Severin and bold inks, the story captures the tension of an operation where even the best-laid plans hinge on the unpredictable—where courage and quick thinking prove as vital as strategy. The cover, a striking collaboration by Kurtzman, sets the stage with its stark, dramatic framing.

Fisher, fresh from the Reassignment Depot and handed the keys to a brand-new Willys Jeep he names Katherine, finds himself oddly bonded to the vehicle as he’s thrust into combat with a ragtag unit facing North Korean forces. What begins as a soldier’s practical reliance on his ride soon deepens into something more personal—hard to explain, but impossible to ignore.
