War Comics #17
In "The Kill at Kigye," Private George Bond finds himself caught in the chaos of war, saved at first by South Korean troops whose bravery he initially underestimates. Witnessing their courage under fire—despite inferior gear and overwhelming odds—Bond’s perspective shifts as he sees them make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure his escape. A powerful, grounded moment in a 1953 war comic, this story captures the weight of duty and recognition, illustrated with precision by Fred Kida and rendered with stark intensity on the cover by Gene Colan and Carl Burgos.
