    Stories and art by Al Avison and Bob Powell. The amiable boxer strip becomes a pre-Code war comic as the Cold War and Korean conflict heat up. A story based on the so-called "Prisoner of War riots" that occurred in POW camps in Korea. Laid-back Jeb becomes a fierce warrior when the enemy forces wake him up too early one morning. A soldier in Korea adopts a puppy, and Ripper the dog goes on to save his master's life in combat. Plus fun facts from US military history, featuring Teddy Roosevelt. One last torture-and-bondage war cover, probably by Al Avison, before the title resumes its focus on boxing. Prison Riot; Seeing Eye; Foxhole Escapade; Sleepy Time Guy; On Your Guard; Tanks!; Up Periscope. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
