Star Spangled Comics #38

From the November 1944 pages of DC's Star Spangled Comics, issue #38 drops readers right into the thick of wartime chaos. The cover — penciled by Joe Simon and inked by John Daly — shows the blue-suited Guardian charging forward with a golden shield while the young members of the Newsboy Legion scramble and recoil as a menacing enemy soldier in full military gear opens fire, sparks and explosions bursting dramatically at their feet. It's a vivid, kinetic snapshot of the "whirlwind action adventure" the cover itself promises, with the featured story "Roll Out the Barrels!" and additional top-notch features waiting inside for just ten cents.
