Boris

Debuting in the very first issue of Military Comics back in 1941, Boris is a genuine Golden Age original — born from the creative firepower of Will Eisner, Bob Powell, and Chuck Cuidera at Quality Comics, as storied a trio of early comics talent as you could hope for. That landmark debut has since earned key-issue recognition among collectors, and it's easy to see why: Military Comics #1 is one of the foundational artifacts of wartime comics. Boris shares his pages with a memorable cast including Blackhawk, Hendrickson, Olaf, Stanislaus, and Zeg — a vivid ensemble that gives you a real sense of the rich, character-packed world he inhabits. The fact that his appearances stretch all the way through facsimile reprints and DC's celebrated war comics retrospectives tells you this corner of comics history still resonates with fans who love the genre at its most adventurous.
