Dime Comics #1
"World Wonders" kicks off in Dime Comics #1 (1942), a rare early appearance of Johnny Canuck in a globe-trotting adventure that blends wartime tension with mythic adventure. Written and drawn entirely by Leo Bachle, the story follows Johnny as he evades German forces over the Libyan jungle, crash-lands, and finds himself in the clutches of a savage tribe—only to rise as their unlikely champion. The cover by Edmond Good captures the drama in bold, dynamic lines, setting the stage for a tale where courage and cunning meet in the heart of the unknown.
