The Full Power of the Gas Bomb

This time a complete early Shark adventure, from AMAZING MAN COMICS #15 (August, 1940). Dig the cool duoshade effects.

Marvel of the Age

From MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #15 (1941). These Electro stories are a blast. Big, bold graphics and stories that leap right in and head wherever they feel like heading:

Nazi Frogman!

Joe Kubert in his prime. From STAR-SPANGLED WAR STORIES #67 (1958):

Bullets Go Wild

The heroes of STARS AND STRIPES COMICS #5 (Centuar, November, 1941). For a thin dime, sixty-six pages stuffed full of (largely) half naked heroes:



Stars and Stripes:



The Mighty Man and the World's Strongest Girl:



The Shark:



Amazing-Man (with his amazing pal Tommy):



Doctor Synthe:



Minimidget (yes, Minimidget):



And my personal favorite, the Iron Skull:

Elder/Krigstein from MAD #17

Brilliant satire from MAD #17. Bill Elder and Bernie Krigstein combine to comment on the use of domestic violence to create humor, lampooning the classic comic strip Bringing Up Father.
