The date stamp of 5-12 is the day the Axis lost North Africa.

With 250,000 Italian and German prisoners, the Axis losses for the North African campaign was close to one million.

After the outstanding run of previous issues, it was time for a breather. The Flash story tries linking Dr. Frankenstein with escaped convicts by way of a traveling circus. As convoluted as this may sound, it is. The Hal Sharp penciled and origninal Flash artist Harry Lampert inks are something less than desirable to the eyes.

Plenty of Nazis to be found in this issue: Johnny Thunder, Ghost Patrol, Minute Movies. Hawkman story fits nicely within the 8 – 10 year old demographics. What is bizarre about this issue is that most of the strips are geared for young children audiences with horrific themes of death camps and nazi occupation.
