“Nine Lives For Victory” is a 9-page Simon&Kirby story from DC’s BOY COMMANDOS #2 [1943]. The Boy Commandos was the most successful of the features the team did for DC in the 1940s, appearing in both DETECTIVE COMICS and WORLD’S FINEST as well as 36 issues of their own book.

This story has the kids finding an injured kitten, who Brooklyn naturally named Dodger, and keeping it despite warnings from Rip Carter about it being against regulations.  The cat ends up going along with them on a raid into France, where our heroes get captured, and as you’d expect it’s Dodger who ends up saving the day.
