A carrier pilot shot down over Japan on August 9th, 1945, finds himself hunted through the mountains by enemy soldiers—until a chance encounter with a truck driver leads him to an unexpected turning point. As the pilot races against time to reach the coast, the true state of the war becomes impossible to ignore. "No Escape" delivers a tense survival tale that shifts when history itself intervenes.

I'm Comin' for Ya
4 pp · war

A young Marine fights his way into a cave on Luzon to rescue his commanding officer from Japanese forces, knowing the odds are nearly impossible—but refusing to let his C.O. die without a fight. With smoke and guts, he infiltrates the cave to turn the tables on a fanatical enemy, and together with his fellow soldiers, he and the Colonel fight their way toward freedom. "I'm Comin' for Ya" is a tense four-page battle for survival where loyalty trumps survival instinct.

4 Dead Men

Four Marines left for dead on Skeleton Ridge make a desperate gamble—hiding beneath enemy lines during a brutal Korean War battle, they spot a chance to strike back at the Communist forces pinning down their outfit. With nothing to lose and their buddies counting on them, Shak Ladzik and three others decide to turn their precarious position into an unexpected advantage in this gritty tale of survival and payback.

Run, Rabbit, Run
5 pp · war

A Marine separated from his squad during a barrage finds himself alone in enemy jungle territory, hunted and desperate—but after days of survival, narrow escapes, and a crucial discovery about enemy positions, he finally claws his way back to his outfit with intelligence that could turn the tide. Written with letters by typeset, this 1963 war story follows Cotton Mitford's harrowing journey from frightened fugitive to resourceful soldier determined to make his escape count.

Memorial for a Marine
6 pp · war

Master Sergeant Al Winters shares the story of PFC "Bunkie" Greaves, a fellow Marine who never earned official medals or recognition but earned something far more lasting—the respect and gratitude of his squad. Through brutal combat in Korea's Mortar Hill during the winter of 1951, Bunkie proves himself an instinctive soldier whose quick thinking and selfless actions keep his brothers alive through impossible odds. This is a tribute to the quiet heroes whose real memorial lives in the hearts of those they fought beside.
