Minute-Man I

    Private Jack Weston serving in the army at Camp Blaine during the war wants to do more for his country by taking on enemy agents as well as enemy soldiers. When spies and saboteurs threaten, he leaps into action as Minute-Man, the one-man army. Although he possesses no super-powers, Minute-Man is nevertheless always up for the job at hand. One of Minute-Man's most well-known enemies is the gruesome Mr. Skeleton, who resembles a long-dead corpse with a white skull for a head and decayed white flesh clinging to his bones. Mr. Skeleton is a giant, powerful enough to pick a man up like a toy. He is a blindly evil force, bent on destroying America. In their final battle, Minute-Man grabs Mr. Skeleton by the leg, swings him around and around, and hurtles him against a stone wall, shattering him into a thousand bony pieces. Minute-Man enjoys a long and illustrious career. And for one cover shoot he sported this uniform (as seen here worn by Minute Maid).
