In "My G.I. Guy!", blond showgirl Joyce Mallory flees a murder charge by enlisting in the WAC under the new identity of brunette Jane Benson, only to find her past shadows following her to Tokyo. With tension simmering and secrets buried beneath the surface, this wartime tale unfolds in a world where trust is as fragile as a wartime romance. Letterer Sam Rosen brings the drama to life with sharp, expressive word balloons.
