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...

Heroes vs Dinosaurs BLACKHAWK "Time-Monsters!"

He Fights Nazis!
He Fights Russkies  (and other Commies)!
And...He Fights Dinosaurs!

He's Blackhawk...and you don't mess with him...or his crew!

Hard to believe this cover-featured tale from DC's Blackhawk #143 (1959) has never been reprinted in some TPB/hardcover collection or another!
But the Dick Dillin/Chuck Cuidera-illustrated story, as they phased our of their post-World War II Commie-smashing period into a "scientific crime-fighting adventurers" era, is a fun piece of science fiction/fantasy.
The only regrettable part is that the scripter is unknown.

Nazi-Punchers BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA "Conclusion" & "Epilogue"

It Has All Lead Up to This...

...despite the best efforts of The Batman and Captain America, The Red Skull is about to drop an atom bomb on Washington DC!

However, the least-likely patriot in America's history may just do what they couldn't...

Not content to just change World War II history for two universes, John Byrne tossed in an epilogue rewriting things even further...

And so ends this Multiversal tale, which, sadly, never spawned a sequel.
Personally, I'd love to seen more of this particular Silver-Age Earth...
Next Week, We're Back to Russkie-Smashing!

Nazi-Punchers BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA "Part 4"

When Last We Left Our Heroes...

Pencils by Jack Kirby from the back cover of Street Enterprises' The Comic Reader #100 (1973), believed to be the first time the King illustrated The Batman!

...The Red Skull had attached The Batman and Bucky (yes, you read that right) to a bomb...which the Nazi witnessed exploding, destroying the building the crimefighters were in!

Meanwhile, Captain America and Robin, discovering The Red Skull and The Joker are working together (though the Clown Prince of Crime still doesn't know that)...

Well, we can see why this book wasn't  called Super-Villain Team-Up (besides the obvious copyright and trademark infringement)!

Be here next Monday for the (truly) Cataclysmic Conclusion!

Nazi-Punchers BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA "Part 3"

Secrets Are Revealed...

...as The Batman and Captain America learn each other's secret identities, and the manipulator of The Joker's decidedly-unpatriotic attempt to acquire top secret military info turns out to be...The Red Skull!

Are Batman  and Bucky  Blown to Bits?

Will the Star-Spangled Avenger and the Boy Wonder be Slaughtered?

And how will The Joker  react to discovering he's being used by The Red Skull  against his own country?

The Answers to these and other questions will be revealed...Next Monday!
