From Boy Commandos: "The Commandos Are Coming" by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Detective Comics #64 (June 1942)
First appearance of the Boy Commandos, who would go on to be a very popular strip, one that would even get its own series (very rare in the Golden Age)! Simon and Kirby's child soldiers - a concept that might well make you cringe today - usually sent a letter to the Nazis, threatening that "The Commandos are coming", and then made good on that threat.
