The Bostonian

From 1943 through its 38-issue run, The Bostonian was a proudly patriotic comic from Bostonian Publishing, anchored by the recurring presence of Uncle Sam as a symbol of American resolve. The series was most consistently shaped by the hands of writer-artists George Comeau and Van Crews Jr., alongside contributions from Ritter and artist Joe Porzio. A home-front wartime title that endured into the postwar era, it stands as a durable example of regional, character-driven comics that put a familiar national icon at the center of its adventures.
