Contains 10 stories
The Road South!
6 pp · war

In 1941, American and Filipino forces fell before a Japanese invasion of the Philippines, forcing soldiers down a brutal road north to prison camps. Nearly four years later, General MacArthur made good on his promise to return—and now American assault troops fight their way down that same road south through the Pacific, pushing the enemy back island by island toward Manila. "The Road South!" follows these soldiers as they battle through beach landings, jungle ambushes, and street-by-street urban combat to retake the city they'd been forced to abandon.

The Mopping Up!
6 pp · war

A war correspondent arrives on a Pacific island just days after the initial invasion, intent on documenting the Marines' combat operations—only to discover that what he witnesses is merely the final phase of battle, the brutal "mopping up" after the main assault. As Major Roberts leads his squad through jungle terrain and against entrenched enemy positions in coastal caves, the correspondent learns firsthand the ingenuity, courage, and relentless efficiency that define these fighting men. By the time the day's work is done, he's gained a profound respect for the Marines and the dangerous work that continues long after the invasion headlines fade.

Bunker Hill
5 pp · war

A parallel narrative spanning 177 years shows American soldiers defending the strategic heights of Bunker Hill against overwhelming odds—first colonial troops facing British redcoats in 1775, then modern GIs holding the same ground against communist forces in 1952. As waves of enemy attacks crash against their positions, the soldiers prove their mettle through discipline and courage, discovering that the spirit of freedom forged in these desperate battles transcends centuries.

Don't Come Back!
6 pp · war · pencils S. Finocchiaro (signed) · inks S. Finocchiaro ?

During the brutal retreat from the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, a company of Marines receives a stark order: take the heavily fortified ridge overlooking the pass, or don't come back. As blizzard conditions and frozen weapons turn the assault into a desperate fight for survival, the men must find a way to dislodge an entrenched enemy—knowing the fate of the First Marine Division depends on their success. S. Finocchiaro brings this harrowing chapter of the Korean War to life with unflinching detail and raw Marine Corps conviction.

Mine Sweeper
5 pp · war

Captain Lawson chafes under command of a minesweeper, dreaming of combat aboard a proper warship—until a Japanese task force is spotted heading straight for the American invasion fleet. With his own ship his only defense, Lawson seizes a desperate chance to prove what a "seagoing vacuum cleaner" and her crew can accomplish when it counts most.

Hot Ship
7 pp · war

When a promising new test pilot arrives at a military flight facility, Major Armstrong—a dedicated but steely officer obsessed with proving an experimental vertical-landing jet—clashes immediately with the young flyer's cocky attitude. As the moment comes to push the sleek aircraft to its limits in a dangerous high-altitude dive, both man and machine face the ultimate test: can the pilot survive the crushing forces of speed and gravity to bring the ship home? This war story trades the battlefield for the test range, where the real enemy is the unknown limits of engineering and human endurance.

Buddha Smiled
6 pp · war

An American patrol establishes an observation post in a remote temple, only to find themselves caught in a firefight when an enemy patrol arrives at the same location. As Lt. Kiley and his men use the ancient stone Buddha statue for cover and execute a daring counterattack, the timeless idol silently witnesses yet another chapter in humanity's endless cycle of conflict—unmoved, understanding, and eternally patient.

Up from the Ashes!
5 pp · war

During the summer of 1940, the British Army faces overwhelming German forces in a desperate retreat through the Dutch countryside toward Dunkirk, where the remnants of a defeated force must hold the line long enough for their comrades to escape across the Channel to England. Captain Henshaw and his men know the cost of their rearguard action, but they also know what's at stake—not just individual lives, but the survival of the nation itself. This is a story of soldiers who failed to stop the Nazi advance, yet whose sacrifice against impossible odds becomes something far greater than defeat.

Line Officer
6 pp · war

When their seasoned captain falls to a sniper, Sgt. Elliot and his men must adjust to a green young lieutenant who seems uncertain and untested—but as the unit pushes toward Baker Company through enemy territory, the new officer begins to prove himself with unconventional tactics and bold decisions. Elliot watches closely as the lieutenant faces one dangerous situation after another, wondering if this inexperienced replacement can truly fill the captain's shoes and lead them through to their objective.
