Sometimes you see a panel that just has to go up on "One Panel", even though better exemplars of Military Comics #5 might have been one of several submarines getting sunk (a trope of the book, apparently). Still a ship goes down in this one, and the only survivors are our hero, Jerry Noble the Yankee Eagle, whose shtick - get this - is talking to the animals, and very coincidentally, a goat, the presence of which on a boat is never explained. Bill the Goat helps Jerry Dolittle defeat an Axis plot and is never heard from again. Jerry, if you're wondering, appeared in the first 8 issues of Military Comics before giving his Yankee Eagle moniker away to LARRY Noble in the pages of Smash Comics. Comicdom's first "Reboot Crisis"?
And that's it for comics on the stands in October of '41. Next week, we start paneling November of that year!
