“On the Spot”

In "On the Spot," Iron Vic puts tough new recruits through their paces at Parris Island, where the defiant Slug quickly learns the hard way that military discipline isn’t for the faint of heart. Written by Bernard Dibble and illustrated by Dib, this 1942 wartime tale captures the grit and humor of training with a no-nonsense drill sergeant and a rookie who’s about to find out just how tough the Marines really are. The cover by Rudolph Dirks perfectly sets the tone with its sharp, energetic portrayal of military life.
