“America's Secret Weapon!”

In "America's Secret Weapon!", Superman visits Camp Towne during World War II, stepping in to join the military's war games and earning an honorary Corporal's rank. Though he's impressed by the courage and skill of American soldiers, he ultimately realizes that the true strength of the nation lies in its fighting men—and that he may not be the secret weapon they need after all. Written by Don C. Cameron and illustrated by Sam Citron, with inks by John Sikela, and a cover by Jack Burnley.
