Kid Komics #9

In "The Corpse Came F.O.B.", the Young Allies trade their city streets for the countryside, taking on seasonal farm work—only to find themselves tangled in a mystery involving a suspicious corpse and a local gangster extorting farmers. With art by Vince Alascia and inks by Al Bellman, this 1945 adventure blends wartime grit with the kind of wholesome heroism that defined the era. The cover, by Alex Schomburg, captures the story’s eerie twist with a stark, memorable image.
