Not quite the GGA thats been posted but this #1 Atlas is more Teen Humor than Military. Kind of an esoteric find.

Barney Baxter's are a lot of fun -- all stories written by Stan Lee and drawn by John Severin.

Certainly this was Goodman and the gang jumping on the military comedy/Sgt. Bilko bandwagon. I'm the world's worst art spotter, but does this cover (credited to Severin when it was posted) look a lot like Mort Drucker? Were their comedy styles similar?

I like it - Barker was obviously inspired by Sgt. Bilko and looks like Stan Lee.

You know you're really charting a path for your child when you name her Moronica.

 

What's strange is that she apparently wandered over from Standard Comics -- Moronica appeared in at least one issue of Starlet O'Hara in Hollywood (#1 Dec 1948 - #4 Sept 1949). I have #4 and she's in there. Did ACG buy up some inventory from Standard? Can you tell who drew the feature for ACG? (Maybe Odgen Whitney worked for Standard or Owen Fitzgerald moved from Standard to ACG??)

PS

GCD came back up.

Owen Fitzgerald drew the feature for ACG, and probably for Standard. Was Standard a precursor company to ACG?
