And the final day of freedom before we return to the tyranny of our work and social lives.
Let's get down with Jack "King" Kirby's The Losers!
Though I certainly didn't vote for 'im.

Though Brave Combo from Denton, Texas are one of my favorites anyway. Not exactly war music.

So the one-eyed fella is Cap'n Storm, who had his own comic prior to joining the team, called Capt. Storm - PT Boat Skipper.

Oh, and a missive from the man himself.
Easton Evans
Kirby writes there that he aims to show a more human side to the war, not as glorified as the ones popular at the time.
That actually made it fairly unpopular with longtime readers and the series was not that well received.
Ironically, the exact thing that made it somewhat maligned at the time is what makes it so loved by later readers (like myself).
Levi Murphy
Johnny Cloud was introduced several years earlier as "Navajo Ace" in All-American Men of War. His thing was kind of just about commanding officers being prejudiced against Native Americans. He also had a team-up with the Haunted Tank.
Gavin Ortiz
For this title he doesn't do much flying, obviously. He just kind of suddenly has masterful tracking powers because hey he's an Injun!
That said, he's a pretty bad motherfucker.

The kid, Gunner; and the old Sarge were from some very short lived feature called "Gunner & Sarge" that ran in I think G.I. Combat.
The whole concept was basically just that Gunner was naive and upbeat and Sarge was grumpy and experienced.
I think Kanigher was pretty smart for realizing these two would work much better in a larger ensemble.

Huh which is weird cause they would headline till the last issue, I thought they would be fairly popular with the war comics crowd.
Colton Miller
The series was still popular, just fans didn't like the change. Kirby left after 12 issues and Kanigher took over till the series ended.

Is there literally, LITERALLY anybody more based than Kirby?

Gunner got his name because he uses a submachine gun. Even though they pretty much all use submachine guns now.
