"Dolled Up" in Popular Comics #88 (1943) is a standout wartime tale written by Gaylord Du Bois, following young Timothy, a resourceful guide in New Guinea whose life is shaped by loss and duty. After surviving the destruction of his village by Japanese forces, Timothy helps a colonel and his men cross a treacherous chasm, guided by the same jungle wisdom his missionary father once shared. With his father’s unfinished Bible translation now his mission, Timothy chooses to stay and fight, turning personal grief into purpose. The cover by an unknown artist captures the story’s rugged, determined spirit.

In the high-stakes world of 1943 aviation adventure, Jack finds himself sidelined after a fiery accident in a wind tunnel leaves him recovering in the hospital. While his mind races with memories of Dixie and Mary—both now drifting apart, each convinced Jack favors the other—his new roommate Downwind, still nursing the fallout from his romantic misadventures, pushes him toward a new path. With a surprising twist of fate and a dash of determination, Jack is drawn into a bold new chapter: opening a pilot training school, where the skies may hold more than just flight lessons.
