// Archive commentary
Our Fighting Forces #107, published by DC Comics with a June 1967 cover date, arrived during the title's long Silver Age run built around combat anthology storytelling. By this point the series regularly paired a lead war story with the popular Gunner and Sarge backup feature, a two-man infantry duo (accompanied by their mascot dog Pooch) that had become a recurring draw for readers following DC's war line alongside Sgt. Rock and Enemy Ace. The issue reflects the house style of the era's war comics: gritty combat plotting typical of writer Robert Kanigher's scripts, paired with the strong, chiaroscuro-heavy cover work associated with Joe Kubert, DC's signature war-comics artist of the period.
Market data for this issue is thin, consistent with its status as a mid-run war title rather than a spotlighted key. The only substantive certified sale on record is a 4.5-grade copy trading at $46, and the certified population above that grade is sparse, with several grades showing sales activity but no reported price, and nothing certified at 9.8 or above. This scarcity of high-grade certified data, rather than outsized demand, is what drives the wide gap between raw low-grade material and a hypothetical top slab: war comics of this vintage were read hard and rarely preserved, so surviving high-grade copies command a real premium even without headline demand.
Collecting interest in Our Fighting Forces #107 comes primarily from war-comics specialists, Silver Age DC completists, and Kubert cover collectors rather than mainstream superhero buyers, which keeps the book's ceiling modest compared to contemporaneous capes-and-tights issues. Low- and mid-grade raw copies trade inexpensively and steadily as filler for long-box builders and DC war-run collectors, while any high-grade certified example would likely draw attention mainly for its rarity and cover quality rather than any character-driven demand, making it a book whose value is set more by condition scarcity than by collector competition.
