True Comics #63 is an anthology featuring multiple factual stories. One story covers the life and work of a well-known poet famous for writing about everyday things like the old swimming hole, with his poetry noted for simplicity and humor. Another story depicts the historical Battle of Stalingrad in January 1943, when two Red Army units crossed the Volga River and trapped Nazi forces, marking a turning point in World War II. The issue also includes a biographical account of a figure who served on the American Peace Commission to England in 1783 and was later elected President of the United States, winning over Thomas Jefferson by three electoral votes. Additionally, there is a narrative about a farmer and Lilenthal's work on power and electricity rates, leading to involvement with the Tennessee Valley Authority and President Roosevelt's hydroelectric power project in the 1930s. Finally, the comic features a story about "George," a woman who served aboard ship during wartime, facing dangers including an encounter with an enemy frigate off the coast of Brazil during the War of 1812, and her service continuing without her identity being discovered.
