☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1989 Marvel collection reprints the classic Joe Simon and Jack Kirby creation, Fighting American, originally published by Crestwood in the 1950s. It follows patriotic hero Johnny Flagg and his sidekick Speedboy as they battle communist threats, with Dan Sprite also appearing in the adventures. The volume captures the satirical, over-the-top tone of the original series, blending Cold War-era propaganda with Kirby's dynamic artwork.
In "Break the Spy Ring," a downed American pilot struggles to survive after being shot down over the ocean, only to find himself stranded in Tokyo—caught in a deadly web of Japanese mobsters and communist spies. With the Fighting American and Speedboy on the case, the stakes rise as a high-stakes rescue unfolds in the shadows of a Cold War-era city. Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Simon, this 1989 Marvel issue features cover pencils by Kirby and inks by Simon.
