Russkie-Smashers OPERATION: PERIL "Time Travelers in 'Nostradamus!' "

This Wild Series From the Cold War Era...
...which appeared in the AGC adventure anthology Operation: Peril combined Russkie spies, time travel...and the prophecies of Nostradamus!
Operation: Peril was a multi-genre anthology featuring on-going strips about time travel (as seen above), a hard-boiled private eye (Danny Danger), and high adventure in the Pacific (Typhoon Tyler), as well as a historical short story in each issue.
Though Time Travelers didn't appear on the first few covers, by issue #4, they took over the cover spot until their final appearance in #12, after which the book changed focus and became a war comic for the remainder of the run.
But the Russkie spy aspect in TT only lasted for a couple of issues!
This premiere tale from Operation: Peril #1 (1950) was written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Ken Bald.
