Valley Forge

Frederic Ray, best known as a Golden Age cover artist for DC, wrote and drew this single-issue historical comic for the publisher. Published in 1951, Valley Forge dramatizes the brutal winter encampment of George Washington's Continental Army, focusing on the soldiers' endurance rather than grand battles. It stands as a compact, earnest example of post-war patriotic comics, crafted entirely by a creator who specialized in heroic American history.
