In "Korea!", a harrowing tale from EC's Two-Fisted Tales #29, a lone survivor vows revenge after North Korean snipers murder his comrades and steal their Jeep. Written by Harvey Kurtzman and brought to life with stark, powerful art by Jack Davis—both inks and pencils—and dynamic coloring by Marie Severin, the story follows a tense pursuit where one man’s thirst for justice clashes with another’s desperate plea for mercy. The cover, also by Kurtzman, captures the raw intensity of the moment.

In the brutal winter of 1952, a U.S. soldier driven by rage pursues a fleeing North Korean Jeep after his comrades are killed by snipers. When he finally catches up and eliminates all but one enemy soldier who begs for mercy, his fellow American tries to stop him from taking a life he may never forget.

In a stark, wartime sky, the Red Knight—Baron Manfred von Richthofen—counts his final victories with chilling precision, his legend built on blood and steel. When his plane crashes in silence, the Allied pilots who find him are left with more than a corpse: a man whose myth may have outlived his life.

Washington!
6 pp · Historical, War
General George WashingtonRevolutionary soldiers [Patrick (death)]British soldiers (enemy)

In the tense aftermath of the British bombardment on Manhattan Island, General George Washington stands firm as his outnumbered troops falter. With Patrick among those lost and the ranks thinning, Washington rallies his men—only to see them flee. As he and his horse retreat from the crumbling front, the weight of the struggle settles in: the fight for independence is far from over.

Fire Mission!
7 pp · War
a 4.2 mortar crew (two die)

In the tense silence between bursts of rifle fire during the Korean War, a nervous new recruit learns the hard way what it means to be part of a 4.2 mortar crew—when the real danger isn’t the noise, but the sudden, deadly precision of the enemy’s response.
