The Fighting Seabees
6 pp · non-fiction; war
JimDaveLarry

Three defense plant workers—Jim, Dave, and Larry—trade their factory jobs for the Navy Construction Battalions, drawn by the chance to build and fight simultaneously. After boot training, they're shipped to the Pacific theater, where they discover the Seabees' real mission: constructing vital military infrastructure like airfields and machine shops while under enemy fire on islands like Guadalcanal and Tarawa. Their skills with tools prove just as crucial as their willingness to pick up a weapon when Japanese forces threaten their work.

The Conquest of Yellow Fever

Jesse LazearMajor Walter ReedGeneral Wood

In 1944, Real Life Comics presents the true story of how Major Walter Reed and Jesse Lazear tackled one of the deadliest threats facing American troops in Cuba—yellow fever. When General Wood's soldiers fell to the mysterious disease faster than enemy bullets could claim them, Reed arrived with a theory to test: that a mosquito, not a germ, might be the culprit. What unfolds is a harrowing account of scientific dedication and human sacrifice, as volunteers—and the researchers themselves—submit to dangerous experiments to prove their hypothesis and find a way to stop the fever's deadly spread.

From his early vision of using a single conqueror to bring peace to Asia, he builds an empire that sweeps westward toward Europe, crushes the legendary Golden Horde, and lays waste to the riches of India and Turkey. This 1944 tale traces the relentless ambition of history's fierce strategist as his dominion expands across continents, driven by a mind as sharp as his sword arm.
