Two-Fisted Tales #3
"Bunker!" is a gripping wartime tale from 1980, written by Harvey Kurtzman and illustrated with gritty precision by John Severin, with inks by Will Elder and letters by Ben Oda. It follows a boastful veteran sergeant during the Peninsular Campaign, whose unshakable confidence in his invincibility is tested in the heat of battle—only to be undone not by enemy fire, but by the quiet, relentless threat of fever. The cover, a striking piece by Jack Davis, captures the tension of war with his signature flair.

While General McClellan puts his recruits through practice maneuvers for the Peninsular Campaign, a veteran sergeant brags to the recruits that he has been in several key battles and a bullet has never touched him and never will. He accompanies the recruits in battle at Richmond, then other areas, and at last is felled, not by a bullet, but by fever!
