Women and WW2 0

[EBE]

So how many GA wartime comics are there that give credit to the ladies for their contribution in winning WW2?

I'm only aware of the three that are pictured below: are there others?

What's the threshold for giving credit? There are a number of issues that depict red cross nurses in uniform. Fight Comics #19 comes to mind.

Fyi, I previously researched that Women War Workers logo (WWW with the torch) on Famous Funnies #110 as I'm also rather fond of that issue/copy.

It was an official logo created for the express purpose of a “Women at Work Cover Promotion.” The Magazine War Guide (part of the U.S. Office of War Information) recommended all magazines participate in their September 1943 publications. The slogan for this campaign was “The More Women at Work the Sooner We Win.”

Norman Rockwell got behind the effort, painting “Liberty Girl’ for the Saturday Evening Post. I was able to find a number of participating magazines. In regard to comics, Famous Funnies #110 appears to be the only comic published with the promotion (other comics stuck to the standard buy war bonds theme). Superman that month was a classic image of him standing strong with the American flag in hand.

Although not a comic, a tip of the cap to my mom Roberta Thompson. While the men were away fighting the hun, she got the opportunity to be the first woman white house photographer. Miss you mom!

WOW! That's amazing; would love to hear more stories. Bet she had some good ones.

My threshold is that the cover specifically gives credit to the ladies. The Target v6#3 above is a good example, and one I had forgotten about.

Covers where the uniformed nurse is bound or otherwise being rescued wouldn't count, as the focus is the rescuing or the bondage.

The Wow 15 above is a patriotic cover (and a great one!), but not one that really has anything to do with women's contributions to winning the war.

The Camera 3 is more of a "smack the axis" cover, and although a woman is involved, it doesn't speak to the war effort by women during WW2.

 

So we're up to 4 comics that meet my criteria. Can anyone come up with some others?
