Frontline Combat #12

May 1953 · EC · 0.10 USD
“F-94!”

"F-94!" delivers a taut, pulse-pounding thriller from Harvey Kurtzman and George Evans, capturing the Cold War’s electric anxiety in a single, gripping issue. As a young observer spots a mysterious low-flying aircraft near a major East Coast factory, the nation’s defenses spring into action—sending F-94 jet interceptors scrambling into the sky. Jack Davis’s sharp, dynamic cover perfectly encapsulates the tension, while the interior art by Evans and colorwork by Marie Severin bring the era’s urgency to life. A standout moment in EC’s Frontline Combat series, this 1953 10-cent classic remains a masterclass in suspense.
