Description

In the 1940s, it was common to color the art when you were giving it as a gift.  This was a gift from the famous Archie artist Bob Montana (one of his rare forays into superheroes) for the fellow MLJ artist Ed Goggin.

A fascinating and unusual piece of comics history, and of real world history.

Real exciting as punching out the Nutsi and Japanese scourge was in fashion as the USA was now in the fight!  We are even given some bonadge from Montana!

The art was given to Ed Goggin a fellow writer/artist at MLJ who went over to Quality Comics with his brother in law Al Fagalay.
