A friend commented on a Young Allies copy in his pc, that he suspects may have been in a military camp, or base maybe during WWII.  Any insights or discussions about this particular book being such given the markings it has?  If so, are there other books out there from this base?  Thank you.

Based on the writing, Camp Sibert was an Army chemical weapons training facility in Etowah and St Clair County Alabama. It was in operation from 1942 to 1945. That 1943 date is not the release date since that issue of Young Allies 6 was on the newsstand around October 30 1942. Other markings or names might give a clue of a former owner since there are records of soldiers who trained at Camp Sibert.

This is a photo booklet about Camp Sibert.

I don't even have money to spend on comics right now, but I simply couldn't resist buying this front cover.

Question:  Angel was the prominent feature on FOUR of the first 8 MM comics, Human Torch THREE of the first 8, and Sub-Mariner on only ONE of the first 8.  Was Angel really the bigget draw back in those days?

Question: Does MM8 share the same back cover with any other comic from the era?
