Two-Fisted Tales #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Luck!", an American lieutenant’s uncanny survival against relentless North Korean snipers tests the limits of fate, as his men rely on his improbable luck to push through a deadly ambush—until one final, unexpected threat emerges from the rubble.
Told from the harrowing perspective of a soldier in the 7th Cavalry, "Custer's Last Stand" captures the chaos and desperation of the fateful clash at the Little Big Horn. As Lt. Calhoun leads his platoon and Captain Keogh fights desperately against overwhelming odds, the story unfolds with grim immediacy, placing the reader in the heart of the battle's final moments.
In "D-Day!", American Rangers push toward Pointe Du Hoe under the cover of darkness, trusting that the Germans won’t expect an assault on the sheer cliffs. With the mission hanging in the balance and chaos unfolding, the American sergeant and corporal must rely on quick thinking and grit to push forward—because even the best plans can’t account for the unexpected.
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.
