Synopsis

An American-South Korean patrol comes upon a group of massacred soldiers, all with their hands tied behind their backs with their own shoelaces and shot down. There is one who is still alive and he tells the sergeant what had happened: a North Korean officer had the Sergeant's men shot, then stripped of uniforms, which were then donned by the enemy troops. Unfortunately for them, they ran across a band of North Koreans who mis-took them for Americans and killed them all.

Notes

Cover and interior reprint the contents from the USA Two-Fisted Tales # 20.

Some colors in this issue were previously attributed to Marie Severin, but it is unlikely that Severin had begun coloring at EC when EC’s *Two-Fisted Tales *#20 was colored (Cassell 2012, 33–34 and 171). Severin is not known ever to have worked for Superior. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Reference:
