Russkie-Smashers WONDER BOY "Two-Legged Termite Maneuvers!"

...as he continues his crusade against Commie spies and saboteurs!

BTW, this cover-featured and never-reprinted tale from Ajax/Farrell's Wonder Boy #18 (1955) may be a re-working of a previously-published comic story, which the Eisner/Iger Studio (later just Iger Studio after Will Eisner founded his own studio) was notorious for, as shown HERE, where a story written and drawn for one character was modified/updated for a totally-different character!
Or, it may be a totally-new tale.
We're not yet certain.

Russkie-Smashers BLACK COBRA "Big Blast"

As we have done in the past...
...we go from Blackhawk to Black Cobra!
Yet we're still involved in aquatic combat with Russkies!
The creatives for this never-reprinted tale from Ajax/Farrell's Black Cobra #6 (1954-5), which is actually #2, were from the Iger Studio which "packaged" comic stories (both scripts and artwork) for various publishers including Fox, Chesler, Elliot, Fiction House, St John, and (of course) Ajax/Farrell!
It may be a re-working of a previously-published comic story, which the studio was notorious for, as shown HERE, where a story written and drawn for one character was modified/updated for a totally-different character!
Or, it may be a totally-new tale.
We're not yet certain.
NEXT WEEK:
Another Water-Logged Russkie-Smashing Tale!
Who knew we'd actually find a sub-category to Russkie-Smashing!

Russkie-Smashers BLACK COBRA "Ace Spy Smasher vs Voice of Treason"

He's not as well-known as our previous Commie-crushers...

...but there's no denying his enthusiasm for the job...or his effectiveness!

BTW, the Voice of America is still broadcasting, as shown HERE!
