Here's the word, kids, from the Fighting Yank himself...
 |
| Art by Mort Meskin |
...from the final issue of his 1940s series, Standard's Fighting Yank #29 (1949)
 |
| Art by Alex Schomburg |
And here's the patriotic cover from that issue, which features the only time the character appears in costume, but without a mask!
Update: I goofed.
When the art team of Jerry Robinson and Mort Meskin took over the book as of #25, they modified Fighting Yank's costume, removing the mask and adding a Revolutionary War-era powdered wig and the frilled, looser shirt.
However, the covers, prepared in advance by Alex Schomburg, didn't reflect the change until #27 (which I had not read).
My bad.
