Decent Comics: "Mile-a-Minute Jones by Kirby and Royer

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Today's Losers classic, "Mile-a-Minute Jones!" by (who else?) Jack Kirby and Mike Royer is one of Groove's faves of Kirby's--er--run (I really didn't intend for that to happen, but what'cha gonna do?). Inspired by the great Jesse Owens, "Mile-a-Minute Jones" is a breathtaking tale that gives us multiple layers of danger and action. I don't want to give too much away (besides, our pal Rip Jagger does a brilliant job of summarizing Our Fighting Forces #159 (June 1975) in his blog right here), so let's just get on with the action!
