Nazi-Punchers SPACE WESTERN COMICS "Spurs Jackson and His Space Vigilantes in 'Tomorrow the Universe' "

We Have Already Seen...

Note: Curiously, there's no mention of the Martians, including their (of course) beautiful princess, Spurs and the Space Vigilantes had already encountered in previous stories!

Yeah, it's just business as usual for Spurs and his crew!

Written by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson and illustrated by Stan Campbell, this never-reprinted, beyond bonkers, tale from Charlton's Space Western Comics #45 (1953) was part of a pop culture trend in sci-fi fantasy that included movies like They Saved Hitler's Brain, and even a Twilight Zone episode, "He Lives!"

Nazi-Punchers SPACE WESTERN COMICS "Spurs Jackson and His Space Vigilantes in 'Madman of Mars' "

You've seen Cowboys and Indians, Even Cowboys and Aliens...

...but cowboys and Nazis...in outer space???

To Be Concluded, Appropriately, Tomorrow!

Written by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson and illustrated by Stan Campbell, this never-reprinted, beyond bonkers, tale from Charlton's Space Western Comics #44 (1953) was part of a pop culture trend about Adolf Hitler surviving to the (then) present in sci-fi fantasy that included movies like They Saved Hitler's Brain, and even a Twilight Zone episode, "He Lives!"
The comic itself, a mashup of Western cliches and the flying saucer fad of the 1950s set in the then-present, ran only six wacky issues before reverting to its' original title, Cowboy Western Comics!
As for how cowboy rancher (and US government vendor) Spurs Jackson ended up in outer space, well, you can read the beginning of his stellar saga HERE!

(You know you want to!)

Nazi-Punchers CAPTAIN SCIENCE "Traitors to the Earth!"

It was only his second story, and already Captain Science had his hands full...

...any way you look at it, it's a helluva way to begin your career!

Cap destroyed a threat by other humans (including Adolf Hitler) using alien tech and picked up a hot babe in the process!

Not bad for the second gig in his career!
Note, though it's only mentioned in a caption, it takes Gordon Dane months to prepare for his new career (though it's never explained how a guy on a teacher's salary can afford to cobble together the equipment he needs)...

The art on this never-reprinted story from Youthful's Captain Science #1 (1950)  is by Gustav Schrotter.
The writer is unknown.

Nazi-Punchers DEADPOOL/BATMAN "The Gun & the Sword"

Normally We Don't Post About an Upcoming Comic...

...but this one presents a unique example of cross-company Nazi-punching not seen in over a quarter-century!

Not since 1996's Batman/Captain America, almost 30 years ago, have characters from the Big Two joined forces against Nazis!
And not just any Nazis...

...but Adolf himself!

The tale by writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Terry Dodson, "The Gun & the Sword", is a secondary story in Marvel/DC's Deadpool/Batman, on-sale in your LCS this Wednesday!
Note: the cover at the head of this post is one of the limited-edition alternate covers.

The primary cover is below...

Weird notes: the alternate cover shows Captain America in a comics-accurate costume, and Wonder Woman in a movie-accurate costume!
But the story shows Cap in a movie-accurate uniform and Wonder Woman in a comics-accurate ensemble!

Was this deliberate?

If so, why?

And Cap is left-handed?

He's always been shown as right-handed, not a southpaw!

Nazi-Punchers SUPER GREEN BERET "White Magic in the Black Forest!"

The Green Berets were established in 1952!

So how is one of them fighting Nazis during World War II???

It could only happen in comic books!

We introduced you to Tod Holton: Super Green Beret HERE!

In that same premiere issue from Lightning Comics (#1 in 1967), besides fighting (then) present-day VietCong, he travelled through time, thanks to writer Otto Binder and artist Carl Pfeufer!
In the next (and final issue), Tod travelled back even further in time to the American Revolution!
We'll save that one for next year, the 250th anniversary of America!

Nazi/Russkie-Smashers BLACKHAWK "Hitler's Daughter"

With Don da Con and Muskrat's pseudo-Nazis seizing power...

...we're modifying our format to alternate between Russkie-Smashers and Nazi Smashers starting with this re-presentation!

World War II had ended only a decade earlier when this tale appeared in Quality's Blackhawk #97 (1958), and, if anybody did the math, Hitla (who appears to be in her mid-20s) would've been born around 1930-32...when Hitler wasn't married...but he was involved with Eva Braun...who was never pregnant!
Curiously, at that time in real life, Adolf's half-sister, Angela Raubal, and her 21 year-old daughter Geli, moved into Hitler's home.
Adolf's's relationship towards Geli, while initially kindly, eventually bordered on the obsessive, fueling rumors that they were romantically linked...which Hitler denied.
In late 1931, Geli was found dead at Hitler's flat in Munich.
Verdict: suicide.
Did writer Joe Millard know about this, and could he have used it as a cover story for the imposter daughter in this Dick Dillin-penciled and Chuck Cuidera-inked story?

We'll never know!
