Boy Commandos #6

This 1944 DC spring issue finds the Boy Commandos on horseback, charging through a rocky, tree-lined landscape in a scene full of wartime urgency — one young rider even carries a shield boldly reading "KEEP YER MITTS OFF." Jack Kirby's pencils and Joe Simon's inks give the group of young commandos and their adult companion a vivid, kinetic energy as their horses surge forward against a dramatic red sky. With a story titled "News from Belgium," this issue captures the spirit of wartime adventure that made this series a standout of 1940s comics.
