Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In the aftermath of a crash landing behind enemy lines during the Korean War, a group of American G.I.s are captured and imprisoned by Communist forces, falsely accused of espionage. Though stripped of weapons and freedom, they secretly devise a daring escape plan, using a hidden tunnel beneath the camp and a carefully orchestrated routine to maintain cover. As tensions mount during a daily exercise, the prisoners wait for a lone scout to return from a dangerous reconnaissance mission—his success could mean their only chance to break free.
In a remote South Pacific jungle, a U.S. military test team races to secure their experimental weapons after a surprise Communist assault disables their radar and communication systems. With their advanced artillery and remote-controlled guns now useless, the outnumbered G.I.s must rely on a desperate, last-minute plan to outwit the enemy and escape before dawn.
In the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, a squad of tough U.S. Rangers executes a high-stakes airborne raid on a hidden enemy base, racing against time to destroy key installations before being cut off. As they push forward through deadly minefields and fierce resistance, Colonel William Clark’s relentless pace pushes his men to their limits, testing their endurance and resolve.
In a remote Philippine valley during a simulated battle drill, a small U.S. machine gun crew finds themselves unexpectedly facing a real Communist ambush after spotting enemy troops near the woods. With their heavy weapon overheating and ammunition dwindling, the seven G.I.s must improvise under relentless mortar fire and the threat of advancing tanks and artillery, relying on quick thinking and desperate courage to survive.
