Nazi-Punchers DAREDEVIL COMICS "Pat Patriot: America's Joan of Arc"

Here's the Introduction to One of the More Unique Patriotic Golden Age Heroines...

Read the story and see if you can guess what makes her different from the other Golden Age heroines!

Brave, patriotic, can handle herself in a fight!

"What's so different about her?"

Her name!

"Patricia Patrios", the name chosen by writers Charles Biro & Bob Wood to conveniently "lead" into the Pat Patriot nom-du-guerre, was not the typical WASPy name most comic characters used!

It's never mentioned in the stories, but she appears to be a 1st or 2nd generation American of Greek or Greek/insert ethnicity ancestry.

The art on this tale from Lev Gleason's DareDevil Comics #2 (1941) is confusing in that it has elements of both Frank Borth and Reed Crandall's styles.so it's impossible to say who did what!
Pat Patriot kicked Nazi and neo-Nazi asses from #2 to #11, after which almost all the features besides DareDevil himself were replaced!

Russkie-Smashers THE FLAME "BattleFront: Main Street"

Though He Was a Revival of This Golden Age Character...

...the 1950s reincarnation took only the character's nom-du-guerre, not the original's secret identity, nor his incredibly-lethal weaponry.

(This new version was Comics Code-approved!)

He was also saddled with a wife who had no idea about what he did in his spare time!

Like Samson, Wonder Boy, Black Cobra, and several other Golden Age characters who were licensed to Ajax-Farrell by the Iger Comics Studio (who wrote and illustrated the original 1940s stories), The Flame was revamped from his previous version to be more kid-friendly/less violent due to the backlash the entire comics business was experiencing from the sordid "Seduction of the Innocent" mania gripping the country by those who blamed comic books on the then-current juvenile crime wave sweeping the nation!
Like the other super-characters, The Flame's revival flamed out after only three issues of crime and Russkie-crushing!
