| Synopsis | Janet is a nurse working near the front lines of the “Matrean” War. Her boyfriend is Army captain Don Brady. A group of refugees arrives, led by the sexy Chia-San, who serves as their interpreter. Chia-San provides valuable information to Don, who is smitten by her beauty. Janet exposes Chia-San as an enemy spy and accepts Don’s apology for straying. |

| Notes | Art identification by Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. JVJ refers to the inker as "Q.I." (Quality inker). Hames Ware thinks the penciler might be Robert Pious (March 2011).
For some reason, this story doesn't use the name of the actual "Korean" war, calling it "Matrean" instead. The setting seems to be Korea, but Chia-San looks more like a stereotypical "exotic" Southeast Asian/Polynesian woman rather than Korean or Chinese. |
