| Oh my goodness, that bullet-hole to the forehead is gruesome! Also notable for being Don Heck's first credited artwork ever.... |

| The story "True Hero" has some odd aspects. The protagonist fled from "North Korea" in "those years of 1943 and 1944" (before Korea was split, and while it was occupied by Japan), and understands "North Korean" (although in the next panel it's clarified that he understands "the dialect"). And what a coincidence, he's sent on a secret mission to his "home-town" and runs into his brother and his former fiancee. Still, it's interesting that this story does touch on racial discrimination, however lightly. |
