'the UN have got their greatest 'Alley' in Bill Battle! and if I'm lyin', I'm dyin'!'
This superhero in a Sergeant's uniform seems to be a precursor to a number of Silver Age characters.
'The One Man Army' - OMAC.
'Sgt Fury and the Howling Commandos'
[It reads like a Sgt Fury comic]
Why do I get the feeling that Jack Kirby was well aware of this character?
One DC should have taken to their proverbial bosom.
Also, from #1 - I'm the best there is'
Wolverine.
And the character who keeps calling him 'Sargint? Gomer Pyle.
Lets, for the hell of it, Throw in 'Universal Soldier'.
Writer Bill Woolfolk, 'He became famed as "The Shakespeare of Comics" during the Golden Age of Comics ' Really?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Woolfolk
He was an ex-soldier himself, and really has a ball with this character.
Cheers!
