Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #144

Sgt. Fury charges through a Pacific jungle in this 1978 Marvel issue, tommy gun leveled and jaw set with fierce determination, while his Howling Commandos fan out behind him through the palm trees under a fiery orange sky. The cover by Dick Ayers and John Severin captures the squad on the move with real kinetic energy, and the tagline "At Last! The Howlers Blaze Into Action in the Pacific!" sets up the "On to Tarawa" story with genuine anticipation. War comics fans with a taste for WWII Pacific theater action will find this one hard to pass up.
