Fightin' Marines #12

This anthology issue presents three Korean War action stories featuring the Marines. "Wire Tap" follows Sergeant Mike Sloan as he traces a damaged phone line at a forward observation post and discovers an enemy soldier behind Marine lines, whom he captures after a brief struggle. "Short Cut to Suicide" depicts Sergeant Jim Norton's awareness of a Red strategy to lure Marines into a death trap on Red Ridge, forcing him to make a desperate decision to warn his battalion commander despite being cut off from retreat. "Lucky Piece" features a Marine named Curly Jones who treasures a high school track medal as a lucky charm and uses it to help himself and fellow Marines survive combat situations in Korea.
