The Boy Commandos by Joe Simon & Jack Kirby #1
☆ Be the first to reviewThis volume collects the earliest adventures of the Boy Commandos, a team of multinational youths fighting alongside Allied forces during World War II, as created by the legendary duo Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Originally published in the 1940s, these stories showcase Kirby's dynamic art and Simon's spirited storytelling, blending wartime propaganda with superhero-style action. The collection includes the team's debut and early issues from their own series, offering a foundational look at one of DC's lesser-known wartime properties.
Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s *The Boy Commandos* #1 kicks off with a high-stakes mission in the war-torn village of Krovka, where Nazi forces threaten to destroy the town. With Hitler’s orders to press forward, the Commandos step in—brash, fearless, and ready to fight back. The story, titled "The Commandos Are Coming!", is a bold return to the wartime spirit of Kirby’s original vision, rendered in dynamic art by the legendary duo.
