“The Return of the Black Plague”
In "The Return of the Black Plague," Captain Jake Durgan faces a grim choice: lead his men into a suicide mission or take on a Nazi outpost alone, driven by duty and a refusal to let others die for a corporal's ego. Pat Boyette’s bold artwork and tight storytelling bring a raw, grounded intensity to this wartime stand-off, where courage is measured not in numbers, but in the weight of one man’s decision.
