Synopsis:
Susan falls in love with John, but is shocked when he admits he’s an American Indian. She accepts his marriage proposal but her parents are violently prejudiced and beat Susan when she refuses to stop seeing him. However, when John speaks at a bond rally and reveals that he won the Medal of Honor, Susan’s parents and the rest of the townspeople change their minds about him. Susan and John can now marry.
Reprinting
Reprint Notes:
The reprinted version has 5 additional panels not in the original: these appear at the bottom of the contents page and serve as a teaser for the story (which begins following a full page ad).
The story itself has been revised to conform to the Comics Code. On page 3 in the original, Susan's father hits her but this has been redrawn in the reprint to have him merely express his dissatisfaction. In the original he's wearing a "wife-beater" undershirt but this has been changed to an all-black, long-sleeved shirt in the reprint. Additionally, dialogue has been changed to remove some racial slurs. On the original page 4, Susan's father whips her with his belt: this panel has been completely re-drawn in the reprint, replaced with a verbal admonishment. Additional dialogue changes have been made on this page in the reprint as well.
