Losers Special

    (DC, 1985)
™ and ©1985 DC Comics, Inc.

The Losers were some of DC’s best-loved war comics characters. First appearing in G.I. Combat #138, their number included Gunner and Sarge, ill-fated P.T. boat commander Capt. Storm, and American Indian Johnny Cloud. All of them had seen those they fought with die, while somehow, they survived. But survival never felt like victory when the costs were so high—thus they called themselves “the Losers.”

The gang was united for one final special (the first title to bear their name). Unfortunately, this was to be their swan song. After relating the origins of the various team members, the special told the tale of their final battle. The Losers finally met their end, in a special edition that tied in with the Crisis On Infinite Earths, DC’s ultimate universe-destroying event.
