☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "The Siege of Krovka," the Boy Commandos—Rip Carter, Brooklyn, Andre Chavard, Jan Haasan, and Alfy Twidgett—find themselves in the heart of a war-torn village where civilians stand defiant against a relentless Nazi advance. With Hitler’s orders to crush all resistance, the Commandos step in to protect the people of Krovka, facing down a brutal enemy determined to erase the town from the map.
