Joe Palooka Comics #68

This May 1952 Harvey Comics entry puts Joe Palooka right in the thick of close-quarters combat — the cover shows the blond American soldier locked in a fierce clash with enemy fighters, bayonets sparking on impact while a gunner and a companion press in from below. The cover caption — "He looked like any other kid… and like any other kid he wanted to live, but… 'I Sent My Brother Out to Die!'" — promises the kind of emotional wartime drama that made this series a favorite among readers of the era. A gripping ten-cent package of action and heart, straight from the Korean War years.
