Joe YankBlack Market Mary

Joe Yank gets a chance at romance when he's sent to meet a mysterious woman in Pusan—but he quickly discovers she's Black Market Mary, the very criminal the Army's been after, and his evening takes a wild turn as soldiers, smugglers, and chaos collide. With the sarge's undercover operation unraveling and Mary on the run, Joe finds himself caught between duty and survival in this action-packed Korean adventure.

Korean Jackpot

Joe Yank

Private Joe Yank and Sergeant Mike McGurk crash an attack on a North Korean mountain castle ahead of schedule—supposedly to rescue a woman in distress—only to stumble onto a major Communist stronghold packed with munitions and discover the real prize: a Russian countess and her daughter held captive by the enemy. Stuck behind ancient Korean armor and outnumbered, the two scrappy G.I.s improvise a desperate play that turns the tide for the entire U.N. operation, though their commanding officer might have preferred they stay court-martialed.

The Bow
1 pp · non-fiction; war

This non-fiction feature traces the bow from ancient times through the medieval period, exploring how this deceptively simple weapon shaped warfare across civilizations—from biblical heroes to legendary English victories. Discover why bowmen were once considered dishonorable combatants, how small horn bows could level impossible odds, and why even armor proved no defense against arrows.

Pardon my Brass
6 pp · humor; war
Pinhead Perkins

Pinhead Perkins, a P.F.C. trying to keep the barracks spotless before the new colonel's inspection, accidentally knocks the commanding officer unconscious—and things spiral from there when he and a buddy decide to clean him up and put him back together before anyone notices. When a case of mistaken identity puts Perkins in the colonel's uniform and the real colonel on the warpath with a carbine, this hapless soldier learns that some messes can't be mopped away.

Operation Kimchi
5 pp · war
Joe Yank

When morale hits rock bottom in Joe Yank's unit near the Han River, the scrappy private decides the outfit needs a jolt—and gets the idea to spice up the chow with kimchi, that legendary Korean dish packed with enough heat to set a man on fire. What starts as a prank to lift spirits turns into something far more serious when enemy forces raid the camp, and Joe's "hot" solution becomes the last thing anyone expected. A wild tale of how one soldier's crazy gamble transformed a demoralized outfit into a fighting force ready to take on anything.
