Russkie-Smashers SPY CASES "Smashing the Iron Curtain!"

"A secret agent is not some mythical being born on the comic page..."

...and raised to glory on the silver screen!"

How "meta" can you get?

Though the tale is closer to Mickey Spillane than Ian Fleming, it's still a rousing adventure that proves you don't need tights and a cape to smash Russkies!

Doug Grant was the star of the ongoing (and usually cover-featured) lead strip of Atlas' Spy Cases anthology comic.
This intro tale from #27 (actually #1, but they were continuing the numbering from a different comic, The Kellys) is scripted by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Al Hartley.
He lasted for 39 stories, longer than any other Atlas-era secret agent except for The Yellow Claw's nemesis Jimmy Woo!

Next Week:

The legendary Man of Bronze takes on the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics as they put up an athlete who was trained from birth using the same techniques that Dr Clark Savage Sr used for Doc in this never-reprinted, almost 40 year-old extra-long tale!

Guest appearances by historical figures including Jesse Owens and Adolf (You Know Who)!

Russkie-Smashers DANGER "Duke Douglas in 'Intrigue' "

When You Want a No-Nonsense, Basic, Extremely-Effective Russkie-Smasher...

...Look No Further than kick-ass Secret Agent Duke Douglas!

Co-creators Ken Fitch (writer) and Don Heck (illustrator) produced this cover-featured tale from Comic Media's Danger #9, 1954.

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!

Viet-Cong Wallopers NICK FURY: AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. and the HOWLING COMMANDOS "Viet Nam: the Valor and the Victory" Part 1

Confused by that title?

Just understand it's 1967, the VietNam War is well underway, and all the rest will be explained as we go, True Believer...

Admittedly, this wasn't the usual Commie-clobberin' post you're used to seeing!

But, it's Memorial Day, and we wanted to do something wild and different!

This is the second part of the feature tale from the never-reprinted Marvel's Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos Annual #3 (1967) by writer Gary Friedrich, penciler Dick Ayers and inker John Tartaglione.

Now that the backstory's been fleshed-out, you can witness mayhem aplenty by clicking...

HERE!

(So what're ya waiting for???)

Russkie-Smashers T-MAN "Death Trap in Iran" & "Trouble's Double"

What happens when you combine Russkies and Iran in a kick-ass 1950s spy story?

Besides a Repug's wet-dream, you get this Russkie-Smashing tale from Quality's T-Man #3 (1952)!

But, that's not all!

There's also this sanitized-for-your-protection, Comics Code-modified reprint from Quality's T-Man #31 (1956), which waters down all the kool hard-boiled elements from the original tale...and makes the Russkies into generic "Communists"!
