In Korea, Leatherneck Jack is trapped in the target area of the Marine Corps' own rocket attack, in a story with early art by future Marvel legend Gene Colan. Meanwhile, his buddies Monte and Gum travel toward a hidden enemy outpost at Junkyard Junction. Plus two more Colan stories. Cover by Baker.
