From Boy Commandos: "The Siege of Krovka" by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Detective Comics #69 (November 1942)
A young Russian girl learns to kill and like it in a story that has the Boys draped in USSR iconography before such a thing would become highly popular. This is the comic the Commandos would be trying to hide or burn by the 60s. In Tanya's defense, she is revenge killing Nazis, which is no less distasteful than the pre-teen commandos offing German soldiers in every instalment.
Did Tanya ever returned? Brooklyn was so taken with her, he got a book to teach him proper English so he could write to her. Has anyone ever checked on Dan Turpin's marital status?
