Disclose Notes: This story is a reprint, but it was edited by Charlton for compliance with the Comics Code, removing elements that the censors found objectionable. For example, on page 3 in the original St. John version, Tripoli Shores and Arkansaw Woods come across the body of a American Marine in a ditch. The Marine has had his hands tied behind him before being shot in the back of the head. In the Charlton reprint all the dialogue is kept the same, but the dead Marine disappears and the two characters are now standing over a ditch filled with rocks talking about a dead Marine who isn't there.
