Contains 5 stories
Section 8!
7 pp · war
Private Lenny Buller

Private Lenny Buller thinks he's found the perfect scheme: fake a mental breakdown to land a Section 8 discharge and escape the Korean front lines. But when he's caught red-handed at the hospital trying to keep his wound from healing, a cruel twist of fate—an enemy air raid—leaves him stumbling back toward the combat zone in a straightjacket, desperate to prove to his unit that he's no coward. Discover what Lenny learns when he finally gets his chance to rejoin his buddies in "Section 8!" from *Battle Cry* #2, drawn with gritty war-comic authenticity.

Operation: Exterminator
5 pp · war

Allied commanders suspect German U-boats are operating from a secret base somewhere in the Baltic, and a hunch points them toward Hamburg—a seemingly unlikely location for a submarine pen. When aerial reconnaissance finally confirms the ingenious underwater facility, bombing runs prove ineffective against its reinforced concrete structure, forcing the Allies to turn to an unconventional solution: a covert team of frogmen inserted by submarine under cover of darkness. With enemy guards and closing gates standing between them and their target, the frogmen must execute a daring infiltration to stop the wolf-packs once and for all.

The Meter Reader
6 pp · war
Lt. Woody Miller

Lt. Woody Miller pilots a heavily laden B-29 bomber and chafes under the dismissive nickname "Meter Reader"—until he's given a dangerous solo mission to destroy a critical enemy supply route through a Korean mountain. When enemy fighters intercept him en route, Miller discovers that flying the massive "heavy" demands more than just reading instruments, as he outmaneuvers his attackers and fights his way to the target in a daring low-level bombing run.

A Plot of Land!
4 pp · war

A farmer's modest plot of land—passed down through generations and home to his family—becomes a battleground when war sweeps across Korea, and American soldiers dig in to hold the strategic position. As the man desperately tries to bury his wife and child on what he considers sacred ground, the soldiers dismiss his claims, seeing only a useless patch of sand and rock worth fighting for. When the battle rages back and forth across the tiny parcel, the farmer's words about the land's enduring value take on a haunting new meaning.

A Pint of Plasma!
5 pp · war

Don Lund bleeds for his country at Guadalcanal and receives a lifesaving plasma transfusion—a debt he'll repay years later when the Korean War calls him back to the Marines. Haunted by hatred for the enemy and suspicious of a new recruit with a Japanese name, Don must confront his prejudices when circumstances force him to trust the very man he's been torturing, leading to a moment of unexpected reckoning about what it truly means to be American.
