Tigers of Tobruk

Published in 1943 by N.S.W. Bookstall, Tigers of Tobruk is a single-issue comic that stands as a wartime tribute to the Australian soldiers who defended the Libyan port during World War II. Created by the publisher's stable of local talent, it reflects the patriotic, morale-boosting comics of the era. Though brief, it remains a notable artifact of Australian comic history, capturing a specific moment in both the country's military and publishing past.
