Description: "In 1942, almost a year after America entered the Second World War, Jay Jackson--a former railroad worker and sign painter, now working as a cartoonist and illustrator for the legendary Black newspaper The Chicago Defender--did something unexpected. He took the Defender's stale and long-running gag strip Bungleton Green and remade it into a gripping, anti-racist science fiction adventure comic. He teamed the bumbling Green with a crew of Black teens called the Mystic Commandos, and together they battled the enemies of America and racial equality in the past, present, and future."--

Review Quotes: "Featuring page after page of non-stop action and pulpy melodrama imbued with Jackson's perspective as a Black American in the 1940s, this is a work of immense historical value that's also very fun to read." -- Library Journal starred review
