Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In the wake of a failed prisoner exchange, Colonel Anthony Curtis leads a daring nighttime raid behind enemy lines in North Korea to rescue 97 missing soldiers held in a heavily guarded camp. As his small team navigates treacherous terrain and evades relentless patrols, they devise a risky plan to distract the guards using a cleverly timed explosion, relying on a volunteer’s daring pole vault over the barbed wire fence. With time running out and the fate of the imprisoned men hanging in the balance, the mission pushes toward a tense and uncertain rendezvous with a lone U.S. destroyer.
In the jungles of Indo-China, Sergeant Perkins and his tank crew face a desperate mission after their vehicle is damaged and isolated, forcing them to navigate treacherous terrain and evade relentless guerrilla attacks. With their main gun disabled and fuel running low, they discover a hidden jungle path leading straight to the enemy’s supply depot—and seize a dangerous chance to strike back.
In the tense aftermath of a failed mission, Captain Brad Kenton leads a small team behind enemy lines to operate a relay station and guide a series of missiles toward a critical enemy ammo dump in North Korea. As they struggle to maintain contact under relentless fire and dwindling time, the crew must improvise with ingenuity and courage when their equipment is damaged and their escape route cut off.
In the frozen tension of Korea’s no-man’s-land, Sergeant Red Mullins faces off against a familiar enemy—Komotza, a North Korean athlete he once lost to at the Olympics, now a fugitive prisoner whose escape threatens to expose their dummy equipment. As Mullins pursues him through treacherous terrain, memories of past defeats resurface, and the weight of his fear—both of Komotza’s skill and of failing his unit—drives him forward in a desperate race for survival.
