Russkie-Smashers DANGER "Duke Douglas in 'Kill! Kill! Kill!' "

He's the Snazzy Spy we Introduced HERE...

...and now he's returned to rescue a woman from the confines of the Kremlin and...are you ready for this...kill Stalin! 
Whatta guy!
Scripted by Duke's co-creator Ken Fitch and illustrated by Pete Morisi, this never-reprinted tale from Comic Media's Danger #8 (1954) takes a recent historical fact and offers a far different explanation for it!
For the record, according to Marvel, the original Human Torch french-fried Hitler...
...who with his dying breath made sure history would report he commited suicide in Atlas' Young Men #24 (1953).
AFAIK, no comic character has been given credit for killing Benito Mussolini!

Russkie-Smashers DANGER Duke Douglas in "Khyber Incident"

He's a hard-hitting, hard-drinking, hard-loving, Russkie-smashing secret agent...

...who could be played by Daniel Craig (who hadn't been born at the time this tale was told) if there was a Duke Douglas: Secret Agent movie!
Not only is he a Russkie-Smasher, Duke Douglas is a Russkie-Kisser!
What is it about Good Guys and Bad Girls in genre fiction?
Our Hero's premiere tale from Comic Media's Danger #7 (1954) was written by Ken Fitch and illustrated by Don Heck.
Note I emphasized "tale", since he actually premiered on the cover of the previous issue...
...without having an actual story inside the book!
Neither of the stories promoted on the cover feature him!
But every issue after that until the end of the book's run featured two or three stories starring the Agent with a Vest...and you'll be seeing them here!
