The Stars and Stripes

The Stars and Stripes are a group of three men, fugitves from Germany, who have fled that country and now fight spies in America from Stars and Stripes #4 on.
== Character History ==
In a court in Germany, three men are brought before the judge to answer for their crimes. One, a reporter who allegedly published false reports, is convicted first; he's followed by a second man, a man wrongly convicted of theft. The third man is Vance Steuyvesant lll - known as "Van" - who is convicted of killing a German soldier (which he did to save the life of a child - he's the only one of the Stars and Stripes to actually be guilty of a crime). Sentenced to a concentration camp, the men manage to escape and return to America, where they paint the design of the American flag on their uniforms and vow to work together to bring enemies of the country to justice. Their first villain is Rikor, a master spy who has taken the place of a group of union leaders and is trying to force a town's citizens to strike so as to sabotage the war effort. After capturing Rikor and his men, they leave a note behind and flee, aware that they are wanted men in America.
