Two-Fisted Tales #31
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Blockade!" is a gripping wartime tale from EC’s Two-Fisted Tales #31 (1953), written by Harvey Kurtzman and illustrated with gritty precision by John Severin, whose dynamic art is brought to life by Bill Elder’s inks and Marie Severin’s bold coloring. The story follows a boastful sergeant who claims invincibility in battle—only to face a far more insidious enemy than any bullet. Harvey Kurtzman’s sharp script, rendered with authentic period detail, is anchored by his own cover art, a striking visual that captures the tension of the moment.

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!
