If he’s an ex-G.I., why is he still in uniform?

But let’s not be too hard on Hank; he looks like he lost his eyes in the war. Actually, he lost his leg, which made this an interesting comic; Hank was fitted with a prosthetic leg that gave him the power  - to walk around. That’s it. No super powers. Eventually he infiltrates a gang of miscreants who want to . . . rob Fort Knox? Smuggle uranium? No: they want to blame the war on the Jews and the British. Hank exposes them as the scoundrels they are, and that’s it.

The book must have been aimed at a very specific audience: soldiers who’d been maimed in the war, unclear on the motivations for the conflict, and thus susceptible to rabble-rousers. It’s well-intentioned, and you can’t slight a comic aimed at beefing up the image of the disabled vet. Even if we wears a vestigial horn in every panel.

If Hank didn’t patent that over-hand one-punch-while-propping-up-a-dame move, he should have. But it only works on guys too stupid to shoot from a safe distance, I suspect.
