    Cover by Al Avison (credited as Ham Fisher). Stories and art by Ham Fisher and Bob Powell. The amiable boxer strip becomes a pre-Code war comic as the Cold War and Korean conflict heat up. US soldiers think they've contained the enemy, but they didn't reckon on guerrilla fighters. A battalion chafes against its straight-arrow new commander, who insists the men shave every day. Plus a year-by-year history of World War II. Also featuring an introduction - announcing the first of Joe Palooka's Korean War adventures - that is the very definition of "gung ho." Guerrilla Guns; Spit and Polish; Repeat Performance; The Story of World War II! 1942; The Luck of the Irish; Live Bait; The Soldier! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10. Grade: VG- 3.5 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
