Nazi-Punchers GREEN HORNET COMICS "Sensational Case of the Great Milk Hoax"

What do a Nazi Submarine, a Dairy Farm, Gasoline, The Green Hornet, and Wartime Rationing Have in Common?

If we told you, there would be no need for you to read this never-reprinted tale from Harvey's Green Hornet Comics #16 (1944)!

Sadly, both the writer and artist of the story are unknown.
Plus, with the complexity of the storyline, it's conceivable the plot was conceived and used as a radio show script, then adapted into comics form!

Heroes vs Dinosaurs DOC SAVAGE "Blind Flight"

 Last Week We Presented the Man of Steel  vs Dinosaurs...

...now we conclude our month-long look at superheroes battling dinosaurs with a never-reprinted tale of his direct predecessor, the Man of Bronze!

Packaged by the Bob Powell Studios, with Powell himself penciling (and likely writing), this story from S&S's Shadow Comics V9N1 #97 (1949) was part of the final year of comics and pulp publishing from Street & Smith, who ended their hero line later in the year.
(S&S did keep Astounding Science Fiction going into the 1960s by converting to digest format, then changed the title to Analog Science Fiction.)

Next Week: Back To Russkie Smashing and Nazi Punching!

Heroes vs Dinosaurs SUPERMAN "Hunters' Club!"

The Man of Steel  has Faced Numerous Dinosaurs in His Long Career...

...but none under the circumstances in this story from DC's Superman #50 (1948)!

It's amazing how casual most of the characters are about a living dinosaur in this story written by Edmond Hamilton, penciled by Win Mortimer, and inked by Stan Kaye!

Also that Superman leans towards non-violent ways to handle the situation and avoid killing the various creatures!

BTW, it's only been reprinted once...

Nazi-Punchers YANKEE COMICS "Scarlet Sentry in 'Origin' "

He's An All-American Guy...Who Donned a Canadian Uniform to Punch Nazis!

(To be fair, it was bulletproof!)

It's amazing what you could get by mail-order, even in 1941!

The Scarlet Sentry's never-reprinted premiere, illustrated by Charles Sultan, appeared in Red Seal's Yankee Comics #1 (1941), which was published before America entered World War II due to the Axis attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Interestingly, over half the characters introduced in this issue dealt with obvious or implicit German military personnel, spies, or saboteurs!
Most comic (and pulp magazine) publishers realized war was coming, they juest weren't sure when!
After the invasion of Poland in 1939, they started stacking their character lineups with patriotic heroes and heroines ready to "do their bit" for America!
