Showcase Presents: Weird War Tales #1

In "Baker's Dozen," a superstitious squad of GIs clings to their lucky charms until a new recruit—Number 13, arriving on Friday the 13th with a dynamite satchel—throws their luck into chaos. Shunned as a jinx, he’s mocked and avoided, even drawing a black cat and breaking mirrors, but when the unit is trapped in a town under enemy fire, his unorthodox move in a car rigged with explosives turns the tide.

In a Korean War prisoner-of-war camp, an American fighter pilot endures relentless torment from his captors, who insist his shattered mind holds the secrets they seek. As fear and isolation take hold, the line between memory and delusion blurs, and a simple toy jet becomes a fragile anchor in a world gone mad.

In "Goliath of the Western Front!", a skeptical GI named Davy finds himself tested when a towering German secret weapon— a massive Stormtrooper robot—ramps through the front lines. As his comrades scramble to find a weakness, Davy’s quick thinking and sharp aim prove the real edge in a battle where size means nothing against guts.
