Two-Fisted Tales #30
In "Bunker!", Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood deliver a sharp, darkly ironic tale set in a fractured 14th-century Europe where feuding lords exploit the peasantry with ruthless abandon. When the oppressed serfs pin their hopes on a mysterious Black Knight to end the tyranny, they’re met with a bitter truth: even heroes can wear the same armor as the villains. Jack Davis’s striking cover captures the story’s grim tone, while the interior art by Wally Wood and colors by Marie Severin bring the era’s harsh realities to life.

During the 14th Century, Europe was split into hundreds of kingdoms, each ruled by Lords in armor, a real set-up for trouble. The problem was: when one of the Lords decided to take on and ruin one of his contemporaries, the ones who really suffered were the serfs or peasants. The peasants, however, hoped that their "Black Knight" would show up to save the day. And when he finally did show up, the peasants found out he was no better than their enemy, the Robber Baron.
