Contains 6 stories
Bulldozer to Glory!
6 pp · war

A combat engineer named Mike Mahoney receives orders to reach a captured airstrip by 1800 hours—but when he arrives, he discovers the field is still held by enemy forces and his unit has pulled back to regroup. Undeterred, Mahoney pilots his bulldozer straight into the thick of it, using the machine's blade as both shield and weapon to blast through enemy positions, seal caves, and trigger an avalanche that turns the tide of battle. With unflinching determination and a stubborn commitment to his orders, this fearless engineer proves that sometimes the best way to do your job is to fight your way through first.

Booby Trap!
2 pp · war

A combat soldier who underestimates the cunning of his enemy rarely lives to make that mistake twice—and in the Korean War, American infantrymen learned this lesson brutally fast as they faced the Communist booby trap masters. From trip-wired doors to explosives hidden beneath fallen comrades, "Booby Trap!" walks through the deadly cat-and-mouse game of booby trap tactics, showing how soldiers on both sides became increasingly inventive and paranoid about what lurked on the battlefield. It's a hard-won education written in blood, where the difference between life and death came down to stopping, looking twice, and trusting nothing.

Korean Battleground!
6 pp · war

PFC Barney Mason struggles to find meaning in the brutal Korean conflict until a tragic encounter with a civilian farmer forces him to confront what he's really fighting for. As his unit closes in on an enemy-held farmhouse, Mason must decide whether the distant war is worth the cost—and discover his own answer in the midst of combat. Written with the moral weight of a soldier coming of age under fire, "Korean Battleground!" captures the moment a reluctant recruit becomes a soldier.

Colonel Ethan Allen
2 pp · war

Colonel Ethan Allen leads his Green Mountain Boys in a daring raid on Fort Ticonderoga in April 1775, demanding the British surrender the strategic stronghold or face annihilation. When the fort's commander, Captain de la Place, refuses to yield, Allen's rebels breach the barracks and confront the British forces directly. This bold operation becomes a crucial early victory for the Continental cause in the Revolutionary War.

Mission for Marines
7 pp · war

Sergeant Mike Kennedy and Private Stevens undertake a desperate two-man mission to reach an artillery battery four miles away through enemy territory, their company pinned down by relentless mortar fire and unable to communicate with friendly guns. As they fight their way toward Wonshan Ridge dodging Chinese snipers and machine-gun fire, Kennedy's skepticism of the resourceful replacement clashes with Stevens' unorthodox problem-solving—but when it counts, the two Marines discover they make a formidable team. This 1952 war story from Operation: Peril #13 delivers the kind of gritty grunt-level action that defined Korean combat comics, complete with the banter and brotherhood that turns raw recruits into leathernecks.

Battle Stations!
5 pp · war

War correspondent Ken Higby expected a routine assignment covering a minesweeper mission in Korean waters, but what begins as a tedious boat ride quickly transforms into a harrowing baptism by fire when the small vessel encounters a Red mine-layer and enemy aircraft. As the outgunned minesweeper fights to survive and complete its crucial mission of clearing mines for an incoming Marine landing, Higby discovers that true heroism often comes not from the biggest ships and loudest headlines, but from the crews of smaller vessels who risk everything in the deadliest waters.
