Hey Ghoulfriend, I've missed ya, baby! And to show you my love, I've gone through a bunch of issues before and after the one I'll be talking about here, because this was only part of a longer story that I did a little (JUST a little. Seriously) catching up on before giving this one a lot of thought. It started in Joe Palooka #64, in the lead story, "Behind The Russian Curtain". Ham Fisher's signature is on the cover, but Bob Kane's was on Batman, too, if you catch my meaning. But that's neither here nor there, as no other credits are given; even a quick jog over to Grand Comics Database came up empty. I'll try to find out more and bring it back here as I review other chapters. I want to read this WHOLE story! TO BE CONTINUED

- Which brings us to Joe Palooka's Battle Adventures #68, and along with the title change, the format also becomes individual war stories set in the then-current Korean War, while Joe had a multi-part WWII adventure, not the lead story this time, but rather, "His Last Grenade!" led things off. This was the kind of story I would have liked to see more of in some of the more well-known war titles out there. The final panel is poster-worthy. The Palooka installment is the book's longest at 11 pages. I loved the characterization in here, "over the top" or "stereotypical" as it may be to some. I can't say much here about "The Most Shocking Secret Of The War" except that, yeah, it's a pretty big secret, but it's been done before. Still, a very enjoyable read. Again, I have to use the words "poster-like" to describe a couple of shots of Joe swimming, not my kind of picture normally, but judge for yourselves, fellow readers. The Line Of The Book was in here, just beating one from the otherwise not very memorable "I Sent My brother Out To Die!"( yeah sure), "I like this li'l ol' life I lead!" - "We oughta go in shootin' like we done t' them collaberaters in France." I kept looking at the art and getting a Will Elder vibe off of it. I wonder who ELSE all worked for Fisher besides Al Capp? Okay, Mouldy Mama, that's all she wrote for now. We'll get back to this, so put me on your dance4 card for later, sweets. Bye.

The "His Last Grenade" story looks like Jack Sparling
