CLARA BARTON: ANGEL OF THE BATTLEFIELD

One of the most important figures in nursing history...not just for her nursing skills!
Profiled in a never-reprinted feature in DC's Wonder Woman V1N2 (1942) by writer Alice Marble and illustrator Sheldon Moldoff.
Then, in 1944, she received a cover-featured...
...and also never-reprinted, more detailed feature in Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #34, by (sadly) unknown creatives.
Note: The scans are from a hardbound compilation of True Comics, so the pages couldn't lie flat on the scanner. 
An Amazing Nurse!
An Amazing Woman!
An Amazing American!
An appropriate post for the 4th of July weekend, eh?

Written by Julius Schwartz and illustrated by Paul Reinman, this tale from DC's Wonder Woman #37 (1949) was part of an ongoing non-fiction feature, "Wonder Woman of History" which ran in both Wonder Woman and Sensation Comics (which featured Wonder Woman, just as Action Comics features Superman and Detective Comics features The Batman)!
Interestingly, when these shorts were reprinted, it was only in the back of romance comics or in Superman's GirlFriend Lois Lane!
For example, this particular feature was re-presented in DC's Secret Hearts #35 (1956)!
