Following the 1973 cancellation of his Fourth World titles ( New Gods , Forever People , Mister Miracle , and Jimmy Olsen ), Jack Kirby created several new titles for DC ( Kamandi , The Demon , and OMAC ). In 1974, he also assumed the mantle on one existing title: Our Fighting Forces. Beginning with issue #151, Kirby rendered the chronicles of a dysfunctional WWII fighting troop, code-named the Losers. In 1969, famed war comics creator Robert Kanigher ( Sgt. Rock , Enemy Ace ) cobbled together this band of archetypes from four existing DC characters that formerly headlined their own titles. Navajo air ace Captain Johnny Cloud, the fighting infantry duo of Gunner and Sarge, and Navy man Captain Storm compromised the Special Forces quartet. The Losers, who always drew the short end of the stick, primarily tackled the seemingly impossible missions. No stranger to war, Jack Kirby served as a Private First Class in the U.S. Army on the European front during World War II. Throughout his storied career, he called upon on those experiences to inspire numerous comics most notably Boy Commandos, Foxhole, and Sgt Fury . The Losers were far more ordinary than Kirby's usual characterizations -- no super deeds nor powers. Therefore, his portrayals of the four lacked his usual originality and flair. On the other hand, Kirby's art promised a series that would soar past the limitations of a typical 70s comic. His use of outlandish illustrations and innovative storytelling revitalized the title and resulted in a memorable and unusual war comic. [T:]he Losers are Kirby at his best. Distilled essence of Kirby, if you will. No gigantic, world crushing machines (well, if you ignore Big Max and the Devastastor). No superheroics. Just ordinary people, with the whole of the Second World War as a playing field. —Neil Gaiman, from his introduction to Jack Kirby's The Losers.
