SGT. MIKE BATTLE: THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO! #3

Having brainstormed hundreds of ideas for future issues of SMB:GAH (and then promptly dismissed most of them) Graham Pearce still had many stories that he wanted to tell.

Unsure of how long the series would sustain his interest, Pearce was worried that this might be the last issue. As a result, he decided that SMB:GAH #3 would feature nothing but the best of all the ideas that he had come up with, regardless if there was any kind of connection between them or not.

With stories featuring elements of historical inaccuracy, political satire, slapstick comedy and pop-culture references, #3 established the formula for future issues of SMB:GAH.

The random and unconnected chapters in this issue are:

SGT. MIKE BATTLE: BOCHE STOMPER! #16 Dec 1917

SGT. MIKE BATTLE: MERCENARY STOMPER! #969 May 1997

SGT. MIKE BATTLE: NAZI STOMPER! #314 October 1942
