Third Reich Terrors CHALLENGER COMICS "Golem" (Who He Is and How He Came to Be!)

Our Final Third Reich Terror  Starts out As a Nazi-Punching Tale...

...then becomes the telling of a legend,,,and a parable!
Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated by Joe Kubert, this story from Interfaith Publications' Challenger #3 (1946) adapting the legend of the Golem of Prague was apparently created during WWII, but didn't see publication until after the war ended!
Next Monday: The Return of Russkie Smashers!

Reading Room: SCARLET PHANTOM "Curse of Gold"

Here's the never-reprinted origin of a hero you've never heard of...
...in a story with a title that has no relation to the actual plot!
And that's it!
The Scarlet Phantom never appeared after this tale in All-New Short Story Comics #2 in 1943!
Heck, he never even got a logo!
I guess, having avenged his father's death, Jack Winstead went back to full-time reporting.
The art, BTW, is one of the first examples of work by a very young Joe Kubert, apparently channeling Lou Fine.
