☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Occupation of Yongyang," a U.S. military squad in Korea takes prisoner a group of Communist fighters who are surprisingly well-versed in the Geneva Convention—only to find their interrogation efforts undermined by the worst cook in the entire theater. Art by Jess Benton and Clem Weisbecker brings the tense, gritty atmosphere of the front lines to life in this 1952 Soldier Comics classic.
Sergeant Harms volunteers his heavy weapons section to hold Hill 629 while Colonel Simms's main force takes the town of Yongyang during the Korean occupation—a desperate gamble to keep the advancing Communists from cutting off the entire sector. With dwindling ammunition and reinforcements nowhere in sight, Harms and his men must weather relentless enemy assaults and artillery barrages to keep the road to Yongyang sealed off. As their numbers dwindle and the situation grows grimmer by the hour, the sergeant faces an impossible choice about how long his section can hold the line.
Private Bob Stone works the dangerous job of mine-clearing with an unlikely partner—Snafu, a battle-trained dog with an uncanny ability to detect explosives—but when a skeptical soldier named Heckler questions whether the mutt is more liability than asset, Bob must prove that Snafu's instincts are sharper than any doubts. As the team pushes forward to reopen a road in Korean territory, circumstances will test whether Bob's faith in his canine companion holds up when enemy forces return under cover of darkness.
In the frozen trenches of Korea, a squad of soldiers takes prisoner a group of Communists who believe they’re protected by the Geneva Convention—until they realize their captors include the worst cook in the entire theater. With tension rising and survival on the line, the real test isn’t who’s holding the weapons, but who can outlast the next meal.
