DESCRIPTION
classic Boring underwater checkers cover; Dummy app. COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)When a World War is over, what's a patriotic hero to do? Well, unwind as only he can, in this charming cover that features the kind of loose, vacationing imagery DC turned to in the expansive, breezy post-war era. After years of rationing, tension, and uncertainty, this kind of light-hearted material was a balm to sooth the tense nerves of a nation emerging from a world war.
