1960s Our Fighting Forces

Looking back at the 1960s, and DC's war comics of that era...here, a look at Our Fighting Forces, who started off the era with #53 (January-February, 1960) and ended with #122 (November-December, 1969), both covers by Joe Kubert.


#53 featured Gunner (of Gunner and Sarge, two infantry men fighting in the Pacific), and he and his partner would later join the Losers, who would feature in the title until its end.  Lt. Benjamin Hunter gained his Hellcats to fight the Axis in #106 (March, 1967), prisoners from the stockade including Brains, Brute, Cracker, Hard Head, Juggler, Light Fingers, Snake Oil, Swinger and Zig-Zag, adding the female Heller right before their feature ended (with the Losers taking over in #123, February, 1970).
