Bombshell

On the planet Mars, the Roman god of war, also known as Mars, has grown disgusted with the Nazis, who have turned war into a mindless slaughter. He sends his skilled and courageous son, Dryas (aka Bombshell), who saved his father and his ministers from being ambushed and slain by the fearful monster, Koro, to Earth to fight them, despite knowing it was a one-way trip. Bombshell’s magical sword won’t harm humans, but it will cut through almost anything else. Bombshell also possesses an indestructible golden shield. While we are supposed to believe that his father is a Roman god, the story reads as if this Mars is a king of a civilization on Mars.
