11x 17 art print printed on heavy cardstock paper, shipped flat reinforced cardboard in clear plastic sleeve with backing board. I did this Pin up for Femforce #157 2011, where Will Meugniot is breathing new life into the Nedor Comics Characters. Fighting Yank was created during World War II as a patriotic hero similar to the Shield and Captain America. He was one of Nedor Comics' more successful characters, eventually replacing Captain Future in Startling Comics. In September 1942, Fighting Yank received his own title. Fighting Yank also appeared inAmerica's Best Comics until that series was canceled in 1949. Bruce Carter III obtained his superhuman powers when the ghost of his ancestor Bruce Carter I, a hero from the American War of Independence, appeared to him and showed him the location of a magical cloak that could give the wearer invulnerability and super strength. Only Carter III's girlfriend, Joan Farwell, knows of his dual identity.
