Army at War 1978 #1 - back issue - $15.00

Two months before D-Day, Sgt Libertini is parachuting into German territory with the rest of his team on a recon mission. However, his mind is not so much on the mission at hand as it is exposing one of his own men as being a Nazi agent.

Lt. Harrigan is lucky at cards, horses, and girls. Why shouldn't a war be different?

Mike and Pepper are two Marines manning an observation post somewhere in Vietnam. When they spy movement in the free-fire zone they are charged to watch, they call in an artillery strike. After the strike they discover the movement wasn't what they thought it was.

Captain Latham rounds up a crew in a local tavern to aid him in attacking a British merchant ship in a New Jersey harbor...using a whaling boat.

Although a note on the last page of the final story and the editors note on the following page both state that issue number two would be on sale in two months, no subsequent issue was published as Army at War was one of the titles cancelled when DC's parent company forced a sudden significant reduction in the number of titles DC published, an event known as the DC Implosion. On-sale date from Comic Reader #158.
