My dad gave me a whole bunch of those when I was a kid.
I'm going to have to look around my folks house and see if they are there. Me and my brother used to read them like they were comic books. |

Connie and Bonnie were the characters. I may still have some of those old PM comics laying around.
That comic went into the 70's and 80's, I believe. |

In before EdSr I was told EdSr was in his bunk reading his well worn copy. My buddy was Air Force and he said they also had a comic book manual for their AR. The female was much younger, more like 18-19 in their comic book. |

Quoted:
Done by one of the Mad Magazine artists. Will Eisner. William Erwin "Will" Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an American comic writer, artist and entrepreneur. He is considered one of the most important contributors to the development of the medium and is known for the cartooning studio he founded; for his highly influential series The Spirit; for his use of comics as an instructional medium; for his leading role in establishing the graphic novel as a form of literature with his book A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories.
The comics community paid tribute to Eisner by creating the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, more commonly known as "the Eisners", to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium. Eisner enthusiastically participated in the awards ceremony, congratulating each recipient. In 1987, with Carl Barks and Jack Kirby, he was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame. |

I remember being issued that same comic book at MCRD San Diego in August of 1984... I suspect I may be older than the current Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps.
Edited to Add: Not quite yet!!! 
Sergeant Major Micheal P. Barrett was born in 1963 and raised in the Upstate New York town of Youngstown. He enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17 on March 16, 1981, and underwent recruit training at Delta Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. |

Sold one of those on eBay a few years ago. Pretty good shape, maybe 8/10 condition, got a small fortune for it, if I recall.
Wish I had a box of them.
