Yellowjacket Comics

Yellowjacket Comics was a short-lived but distinctive World War II-era title from Charlton, running just ten issues between 1944 and 1946. The series is best known for its regular creative team of writer Jack A. Warren and artists Ken Battefield, Dick Briefer, and Gus Schrotter, who brought a gritty, patriotic energy to its pages. It introduced recurring characters like Juan Manito and The Filipino Kid, reflecting the era's interest in ethnically diverse heroes fighting alongside American forces. Though brief, the series stands as a curious artifact of wartime publishing, showcasing Charlton's early efforts to blend adventure with timely themes.
