The Fighting Yank #18
In "Mayor Call Disappears With Half Million of City Funds!", a man humiliated for his ragged look is denied entry to a lavish feast—until he buys new clothes and gains access. But when he returns, he turns the tables in a shocking act of defiance, pouring wine over his new suit and declaring the feast’s generosity was meant for the clothes, not him. Jules Steiner’s dynamic art brings the moment to life, while Alex Schomburg’s striking cover captures the scene’s simmering tension.
