In "Prey of the War-Eagle," Big Red arrives in Frisco on a personal mission, tracking down his former fiancée Sally Breen. When a chance encounter in a boxing gym leads to an unexpected bout, he’s thrust into the ring—no longer just a man on a quest, but a fighter in a world where every punch could be a step closer to the truth. Written and illustrated by Fletcher Hanks, this 1940 classic blends gritty action with a personal mystery, while Nick Cardy’s dynamic cover captures the intensity of the moment.

Jim BraddockJow Louis

Jim Braddock and Joe Louis square off in the ring for what Fight Comics calls one of the most puzzling bouts in boxing history. Braddock brings the cunning and ring intelligence of an experienced veteran, while Louis brings raw youth and power—though he's still prone to losing his head under pressure. Watch two fighters from opposite sides of the ring prepare to test which style will prevail.

Escape From Reality
2 pp · Humor, Sports
Slug-Nutty SamJoe the Shrimp (villain, introduction)

Slug-Nutty Sam dreams of escaping his troubles, but when he learns he's been signed up to fight the terrifying Joe the Shrimp, he bolts for the docks and sets sail to get away from it all. His desperate voyage takes an absurd turn when he stows away on a ship bound for China, only to discover that no matter how far he runs, fate—and Joe the Shrimp—have a way of catching up. It's a wild romp of mistaken identity, homesickness, and circular logic that proves you can't outrun your problems, especially when they're as determined as a vengeful boxer.
