Farmer Boy

Farmer Boy stepped onto the Bronze Age comics scene in 1972, debuting in Our Army at War #242 under the hand of Sam Glanzman — a creator with a deep, personal connection to war storytelling. Over a run stretching into the mid-1980s, this DC character carved out a modest but notable place in the publisher's war comics landscape, sharing pages with a remarkable mix of figures from Little Sure Shot and Jackie Johnson to cosmic heavyweights like Green Lantern and Hawkman. With appearances in Crisis on Infinite Earths and a spot in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Farmer Boy earned a quiet canonicity that collectors of DC's Bronze Age military titles will want to track down — including at least one key issue worth keeping an eye out for.
