I loved that comic book! It was my favorite.

I read a lot of history, two quick anecdotes about the Stuarts that I recall:

The Brits in N Africa called them "honeys" because they ran so much better and were so much more reliable than the Brit tanks of the time. They were preferred for long range scouting because the Brits knew that Cadillac engine wouldn't leave them stranded in the middle of the desert.

At the Nimitz museum of the War in The Pacific in Fredricksburg, Texas, there is a knocked out Stuart that took a Japanese 3" round right through the driver's viewport. The entire back of the tank is gone just about. They also have the gun that they believe destroyed the tank. Inside the museum, there is a video interview of the commander. He and the rest of the crew miraculously made it out of the tank alive.
