What is that "True Stories" comic above?
It was a Golden Records insert in a record box set in 1966. The set came with a record (I think it was a read-along to one of the stories), a button/badge, a ring and a Batman Club membership card. And the comic of course.

I just have to say I absolutely love that you're collecting and sharing all of this by the way. I'm sorry to derail your sales thread, but I recently was given my grandpa's WWII haversack, and it had a number of items in it, including a journal he kept for his first year in the war (1942-1943). He was in the 738th MP Battalion, which left San Francisco aboard the USS Mt. Vernon in July of 1942, headed for New Zealand and then Australia. He ultimately left Australia for the Pacific, where he received a Purple Heart during an injury in battle. He died in 2018 at age 96.
I've been using his journal and online resources, as well as the book "They passed this way: The United States of America, the states of Australia, and World War II," to trace his movements and the greater context of the war from the U.S. to Australia and beyond. I've been scanning and also transposing his journal (which was mostly written in pencil and hard to decipher in places as it's fading), and I hope to put together a keepsake book with everything I can gather, adding context to the entries based on dates of major airfield bombings, etc.
Again, sorry to derail, but I thought you might find interesting just a couple of the things from his haversack, including scans of my grandma's war rations, Japanese WWII Centavos, his first journal entry from June 8, 1942, and some of the places he noted that he was stationed:

Nope. He was busy fighting. There is only one major Timely artist I know of that did anything artistic for the war effort other than just draw comics. Curious if anyone has come across his work or any work by any other Timely artists.
I knew Kirby was a recon scout during the war. Imagine - there could be now de-classified WW2 maps drawn by Kirby himself...

Quick quiz: Can anyone here name a major Timely artist who did a WWII poster?
I would assume Jack Kirby, but that seems too obvious...
