Go-Go #5

In this satirical 1967 gem from Go-Go #5, the absurdly named Bestest League of America springs into action with a swift capture of Badman and Robber, only to be interrupted by a citywide call for help that summons Green Trashcan to the Marvelous Super Heroes' office—where the real chaos begins.

Young Charlie Splurtz asks his father, a self-proclaimed war hero, about his wartime exploits, only to hear a series of increasingly absurd and unheroic tales—from dodging combat by befriending elderly women in London to using dice games to "save" the day during a Nazi attack. The story unfolds as a satirical take on wartime mythmaking, with the father's exaggerated, comically mundane "heroics" contrasting sharply with the boy’s innocent admiration.
