Heroic Comics #32
This anthology issue contains "The Story of the Japanese G.I.," which explains how the Japanese train their soldiers to be wild and fanatical fighters prepared to combat American forces in the South Pacific and China, and potentially in Japan itself. The issue also features "The Kid from Brooklyn," in which young boxer Hal Avery, fighting to support his mother in the country, wins his first professional bout by knockout and receives an encouraging letter from a well-wisher; the story continues as Hal becomes involved with Progress City, Pennsylvania, where a new sheriff must deal with a criminal element threatening the town's population.
