Miss Foxhole of 1952
7 pp · war

When a gorgeous USO performer known as Miss Foxhole of 1952 arrives to entertain the troops, Private Joe Yank and Sergeant Mike McGurk find themselves competing for her attention—until Joe discovers she's actually a Russian spy using her dancing act as cover for espionage. Now he's got to stop her plot while figuring out how to warn the other soldiers without tipping off the enemy, all while trying to stay one step ahead of her dangerous handler and his own scheming sergeant.

Rise 'n' Shine
1 pp · humor; war

K.P. Kennedy catches a break from kitchen duty when a sergeant orders him to polish a pot until it gleams—but the harder he scrubs, the more the reflective surface seems to work against him. This brisk 1952 wartime humor strip delivers its punchline with the kind of simple, satisfying timing that made Joe Yank a favorite in the barracks.

The Aerial Tramway
0.5 pp · war

During the Korean War, engineers of the 13th Engineer Combat Battalion constructed an ingenious elevated cableway up a remote mountain peak to resupply troops of the 7th Division and evacuate the wounded—a lifeline that slashed evacuation time from three hours to just five minutes and kept fighting men supplied with critical ammunition and provisions.

Chosen's Sacred Bull
6 pp · war

Private Joe Yank and Sergeant McGurk are tasked with a seemingly impossible mission: slip into the heavily fortified city of Luchuan, free the sacred bull Yin-Sen that the Communists are holding hostage, and spark a village uprising—all while disguised as locals. When Joe reconnects with an old acquaintance performing in the occupied town, the three soldiers finally catch their break, but liberating the beast proves far more chaotic than anyone bargained for.

Give Him the Bird
6 pp · war; humor

PFC Pinhead Perkins gets saddled with caring for a carrier pigeon named Henrietta just before crucial military maneuvers—and the bird has other plans. As Pinhead chases his feathered charge across the base, through a WAC barracks, and into the middle of live-fire exercises, chaos erupts at every turn. This six-page romp from Joe Yank #8 proves that sometimes the real enemy isn't the other side—it's the one with wings.

Hex Champ
7 pp · war

Private Joe Yank and Sergeant Mike McGurk find themselves caught behind enemy lines on a Korean battlefield—and when they discover that Captain Suki-Sue, a ruthless Red Chinese officer, has enlisted a mysterious "hex man" named Ik-Ick to curse the U.N. troops into helplessness, the two soldiers face a weapon unlike any bullet or shell. Joe must use all his wits to outsmart both the enemy's supernatural schemes and lead them away from the weakest point in the American lines before the Reds can break through.

Our Navy Comes of Age
1 pp · non-fiction; war

A sweeping survey of U.S. Naval evolution from the Civil War through the Korean conflict, tracing how American seapower transformed from wooden blockade fleets and ironclad river combat to carrier-based warfare in the Pacific and modern coastal support operations. This illustrated history captures nine decades of naval innovation and strategic doctrine in action.
