“The Harlequin's Hoax!”

In "The Harlequin's Hoax!", a wartime tale from 1942, the Nazis lay siege to the town of Krovka, threatening to destroy it unless resistance ceases. With the odds stacked against them, a band of Commandos steps forward, determined to protect the civilians—though their true motives may be more complex than they let on. Written by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, with art by both creators and inks by Joe Simon, this gripping issue features a cover by Jerry Robinson that captures the tension of the moment.
