Leading Comics No. 1 Cover by Mort Meskin
The Seven Soldiers of Victory were a teaming of characters not quite as popular as other characters published by DC. And this is their first appearance as the team.
Unfortunately, Star Spangled Kid’s plus-one Stripesy doesn’t make the cover. I don’t know the significance of that, if there is one, but it seems sketchy to me.
