Who doesn't love The Losers? Well I guess lots of people or they wouldn't be the Losers, a truly ragtag ensemble of characters who fought together in World War II after losing their own individual features. Captain Storm (a sailor), Captain Johnny Cloud (a flyer) and Gunner and Sarge (two grunts) are a quartet who find danger in all the theaters of the war eventually as their series tumbled along between the covers of Our Fighting Forces. Even the great Jack Kirby took a stab a the book at one point. But here the great John Severin is the artist and Robert Kanigher was the writer of a tale which hooked the Losers up with some fighters from the Jewish Brigade. This was a special team of fighters put together to not only fight in the name of those who were defenseless behind the Nazi lines, but would go on to for the basis for the Israeli army.
This story follows the Losers and the Jewish soldiers who take time to practice the faith which was being persecuted and at the same time blowing up a Nazi weapons depot. Seeing those Stars of David representing not just two brave warriors but also the millions who were expunged by the evil of the Third Reich.
