Fightin' Army #77
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Executioner," six Marines struggle to survive after their landing barge hits a mine during a Pacific Island assault, fighting for their lives against determined Japanese defenders while relying on air and naval support. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas with inks by Vince Alascia, this tense wartime tale captures the grit and chaos of combat in 1967’s Fightin’ Army #77. The cover, by Rocke, sets the stage with a stark, dramatic image of the battle’s intensity.
A sniper hidden in a castle near the American lines picks off Lt. Jones and Sgt. Knowles in cold blood, and when no one else believes the threat is real, a determined soldier decides to hunt down the Nazi killer himself. What starts as a search through the castle's shadows turns into a desperate hand-to-hand struggle on the roof, where survival depends on thinking faster than a cornered enemy.
In "10 Yards of Crummy Sand," six Marines struggle to hold a narrow stretch of beach after their barge hits a mine during a Pacific Island assault, relying on desperate courage and the distant support of Navy and Air Force as they fight to survive.
Captain Willy Schultz, an American soldier masquerading as a German tanker after escaping a wartime court-martial, finds himself locked in a brutal desert tank battle where mercy becomes impossible. Forced to choose between following orders or preserving his humanity, Schultz faces a harrowing moment when his commander demands the unthinkable in the heat of combat. As the battle rages and the cost of war mounts, Schultz must reckon with what kind of soldier—and man—he's become.
