Gwandanaland Comics #509

This second volume collecting the Jane Martin – War Nurse strips puts the adventurous, red-haired heroine front and center in a vivid Middle Eastern bazaar setting, hat in hand and clearly at ease amid the bustling, exotic surroundings of what the cover dialogue cheekily calls "another world — like a Hollywood set, only real." Robed figures, archways, and market crowds fill the background as Jane strides confidently through her three-day pass in Iran, with smaller panel vignettes reinforcing the globe-trotting flavor. Gwandanaland Comics #509 is a welcome 2017 package for anyone curious about this wartime adventure series.
