Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #154

A Pacific theater firefight erupts on this October 1979 Marvel issue, as Sgt. Fury charges forward alongside guest-stars Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders, guns blazing beneath a Japanese flag and swaying palm trees. Herb Trimpe's pencils and Al Milgrom's inks bring real kinetic energy to the scene — combatants mid-stride through smoke and flame, every figure radiating determined grit. With the tagline "To Save a Howler!" teasing the stakes inside, this is Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers delivering WWII action at its most visceral.
