“DUSTY RHODES, just a guy who wants to be a Marine when he grows up - but he's not too young to tumble into plenty of trouble and adventure, which dog his footsteps!” Through a over a dozen issues of Fight Comics (#19-31, 1943-1944) DUSTY stumbles and struggles his way across the land, just trying to regain his footing, and always finding a new way to end up in trouble.
