Sergeant Bilko #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSergeant Bilko #13 (1959) finds the scheming sergeant convinced the government will build a base on one of five islands—but he doesn’t know which. So Bilko hatches a plan to buy one and sabotage the rest, only to discover the island he picks is a floating one that needs anchoring. Written by Cal Howard and illustrated by Bob Oksner, with cover art by Bob Oksner, this 10-cent comic from 1959 delivers classic military comedy with a twist even Bilko didn’t see coming.
In "null," Sergeant Bilko spots a chance to turn a profit when he learns the government is eyeing land near the camp for a missile base. With his usual mix of cunning and self-interest, he sets out to buy the land first—before the government even decides where to build.
In "null," Sergeant Bilko sets his sights on a government land purchase, betting that he can manipulate the outcome by making four of five islands unappealing—only to find his chosen island isn’t land at all, but a floating one that needs anchoring to stay put.
In a delightfully absurd twist, Sergeant Bilko spins a wild scheme involving a floating island, only to pivot when he realizes the army might not want it—so he plans to offload it onto Ritzik and scoop up options on the other four. But just as he thinks he's got the upper hand, fate (and the government) have other plans.
