Boy Commandos #2

The Boy Commandos are back for their second issue, and the cover — penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Joe Simon — says it all: a squad of young soldiers in full combat gear physically hustles a caricatured Hitler figure right off the page, with a bold rallying cry urging readers to give Adolf "the bum's rush" through war bonds and stamps. Four complete stories are promised straight from the headlines, capturing the urgency and patriotic energy that made this 1943 DC title such a vital part of the wartime comics scene.
