Soldier Comics #4

When American Captain Thorson leads a strike force to seize the small island of Taewha off the Yalu River in late summer 1951, the objective seems mysterious—until the technicians set up a radar and weather station crucial to an upcoming Allied air operation against a massive Communist troop concentration near Kaijin. As Thorson and his men dig in to hold the island against repeated Red assaults, the race becomes clear: can they keep Taewha long enough for the weather to clear and allow the air strike to proceed, or will the growing enemy offensive overwhelm their position?

Aloysius P. Derring is drafted into the Army and proves himself an exceptional soldier—excelling at every test, training exercise, and combat task—but he's got an excuse for absolutely everything he does, from a sore arm to a cinder in his eye. As he rises through the ranks and ships out to Korea, his knack for rationalizing his performance becomes legendary among his outfit, but when he leads a patrol deep into enemy territory, his confidence may finally meet its match. Watch as this sharpshooter with all the answers faces a situation where talking his way out might not be an option.

A frightened medical officer becomes the unlikely key to survival when he and his fellow prisoners of war find themselves trapped in a Korean cave by Communist forces. With nothing but his wits, his medical kit, and a desperate plan, little Doc must find a way to help Stryker and the other men strike back against their captors. Will the smallest and most nervous among them prove that courage comes in all sizes?
