    Joe Simon and Jack Kirby must have realized how ridiculous this anachronism was, so right up from that ask the reader to...

    "stretch your imagination...to imagine that Rip Carter and his gallant Boy Commandos were living in the days of other great crusaders for freedom...to imagine for example that they were fighting at The Siege of Troy!"
    It may be a goofy idea, but what the heck...
    it's Jack Kirby drawing the Iliad!
