True Comics #31
True Comics #31 is an anthology featuring multiple historical and military-themed stories. One story focuses on Dr. Mary Walker, who became the first woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor after serving as a surgeon during the Civil War and being captured as a prisoner of war. Another story documents the Garand rifle's development, showing how it was designed with only seventy-three parts, tested at army posts in 1933, and proven to fire reliably under all weather and field conditions. Additional features cover topics including Bolivia, Belly Gunner "Shorty" Gordon, and anti-submarine "Q-boat" tactics used in World War I, along with stories about "Red" Orange, "Terrible" Terry Allen, and "The Galloping Ghost."
