see: “Presenting Chickie Ricks”

Big thanks to Jim Trimble, professor, editor and author of “The 10-cent War,” who had a copy of War Victory Adventures #2 and was kind enough to scan and sent the first Chickie Ricks story as it appeared in print. On page 1, you can see that the original art shows the title was Rickie Ricks for a while and this was pasted over. On page 8, you can see the text piece that has been lost to time.
