Our Army at War #132
In "Young Soldiers Never Cry!", a young airman haunted by the legacy of his war-hero family takes on the role of aerial photographer during a critical bombing run over Italy, hoping to prove his worth in a way that matters. Written by Hank Chapman and illustrated with gritty precision by Jerry Grandenetti, with letters by Gaspar Saladino, this poignant wartime tale captures the weight of expectation and the quiet courage of those who serve. The cover, a powerful image by Joe Kubert, sets the tone with a stark, determined soldier in the foreground.
