FIGHTIN' ARMY "Gavin's Stupid Mule"

Ten-Hut!

We go from the jungles of Vietnam to the bloody fields of the Civil War...

 ...for a tale of a tail (and the mule it's attached to)!

This tail...I mean tale from Fightin' Army #20 (1957) was one of the first art jobs by a young artist who would go on to co-create Spider-Man, Dr Strange, Captain Atom, The Creeper, and The Question...Steve Ditko!

Until next time...

CANTEEN KATE "Big Freeze"

Ten-hut!
After the doom and gloom of our October entries, we're going for some humor...

...with the first appearance of Canteen Kate from Fightin' Marines #2 in 1951.

(Note: the caption at top relates events never published in any story!)

Kate quickly graduated from being a back-up feature to her own title, which lasted only three issues due to the comic book witch-hunt of the 1950s, which shut down almost 3/4ths of the industry, including her publishers.

The writers of the strip are unknown, but the kool good-girl art is by the legendary Matt Baker, best known for the half-clad superheroine, Phantom Lady.

Until next time...

Dis-missed!
