Painted cover by Norman Saunders. Stories and art by Everett Raymond Kinstler, Mike Suchorsky, and Irv Novick. Two #10s exist. See previous Ziff Davis Series (1950-51) for the other one. Neither a tie-in with the later toy line/cartoon nor a grim war comic, this first-gen GI Joe focused on lighthearted tales of military life. The Yardbirds, featuring Pvts. Windy and Whitey, was straight-up comedy of the Beetle Bailey/Sad Sack variety. Chip runs into old flame Harriet on the Korean front, but now he's a private and she's a lieutenant, in romance-flavored war story. Beautiful enemy agent Lilith the Tigress returns, in a story with Milton Caniff-ish art by Irv Novick. A Southern GI captured by the enemy tries to explain the US Civil War to a North Korean colonel.
