In "I Want a Volunteer!", Sgt. Koslow steps up when a dangerous mission calls for a hero—taking out enemy observation balloons and then outmaneuvering a captured zeppelin in a daring aerial assault. Dick Ayers handles art, inks, and letters in a tight, kinetic style, while Joe Maneely’s dynamic cover captures the moment’s high stakes. A 10-cent comic from 1955, this issue delivers wartime grit with a pulse-pounding, no-frills charge.
