A Rookie in Camp Callan #[nn]
"1. Hi, Folks!" introduces Private Ned Eller—writing, drawing, inking, and lettering under his own name—as he navigates the rough-and-tumble world of Camp Callan in 1942. From fumbling with field glasses to surviving a stolen cake and a toothache that lands him in the guard house, his rookie misadventures are both funny and sharp. A rare, self-contained wartime comic by a soldier-artist, this 10-cent gem captures military life with humor and authenticity.
