Russkie-Smashers FIGHTING AMERICAN and SPEEDBOY "Sneak of Araby"

Let's start off this section of the Russkie-Smasher blogathon with a volatile combination....

...Russkies and Middle Eastern oil!
Produced by the legendary team of Simon & Kirby, exactly who did what on this opening tale from Prize's Fighting American #7 (1955) is somewhat muddled as both Jack Kirby and Joe Simon tended to do everything (scripting/penciling/inking) together as they went!
Trivia: Curiously, the previous issue featured a cover with this plot concept (Russkies and Middle Eastern oil)...
...but with different Arab characters, both in name and appearance, none of whom appeared in that issue!
