Showcase Presents: The Losers #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects the earliest adventures of the Losers, a ragtag team of WWII soldiers from DC's war comics. Originally introduced in Our Fighting Forces, the team—led by Captain Storm and featuring Gunner, Sarge, and the ghostly Johnny Cloud—fights behind enemy lines in gritty, action-packed tales from the 1970s. The collection reprints issues from Our Fighting Forces #123-151, showcasing the series' shift from standalone stories to a unified team title under writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert, among others.
In "The Real Losers!", a weary soldier named Gunner reaches his breaking point and longs to escape the war—until he’s thrown into battle with a group of fellow soldiers who are physically broken but still fighting. Forced to confront the cost of survival, he realizes he can’t leave them behind, and finds a new reason to stand and fight.
In "Death Picks a Loser!", the Losers are haunted by a fortune teller’s grim prophecy that one of them will die. Sent to Norway to aid the resistance against the Nazis, they face danger at every turn—until Captain Storm falls in battle, leaving the team forever changed. With the weight of loss and the stakes rising, Ona Tomsen steps into the fight, becoming the newest member of the Losers.
In "A Bullet for a Traitor!", the Losers find themselves embedded with a British unit in the North African desert, where suspicion runs as hot as the sun. When one of their own, Ona, is captured by the Germans and presumed to have turned, the team must confront the chilling possibility that a traitor walks among them.
