Synopsis
The crew of the Haunted Tank was the first to cross paths with the Losers, a Special Forces group made up of members who had lost more than a few men under their command. Scribe Robert Kanigher and artist Russ Heath turned these self described "Losers" - including "Navajo Ace" Johnny Cloud of the U.S. Army Air Force, Marines Gunner Mackey and Sarge Clay and Captain William Storm, a PT boat commander with a prosthetic leg - into a fighting force that meshed as one. Accompanied by their canine mascot Pooch, this collection of lower tiered characters with incredibly bad luck went on to become some of DC's most beloved war heroes.
