Nazi-Punchers BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA "Part 1"

On Its' 30th Anniversary, We're Re-Presenting...

 ...a book-length multiversal Nazi-Punching classic team-up!

To Be Continued...Next Monday

Written, penciled and inked by John Byrne, DC's Batman & Captain America (1996) was officially an ElseWorlds story, AFAIK, the only one of the various DC-Marvel crossovers to earn the classification!
Note: Why are Sgt Rock and Easy Company present, but not even a mention of Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos?

Nazi-Punchers CAPTAIN AERO COMICS "Introducing the Sensational Patriotic Character: The Flag-Man and His Faithful Assistant Rusty!"

 For Some Patriots, Being the President's Personal Special Investigator Just Isn't Enough!

They've got to go out on their own time to kick Nazi ass!

Interestingly, though he started this never-reprinted tale from Helnit's Captain Aero Comics #1 (1941) as Captain Hornet, he became Major Hornet by the end of the story!
He was Major Hornet from the second story onward.
Written by Allen Ulmer and illustrated by Ray Willner, the character appeared steadily in the back of Captain Aero Comics until the book was cancelled in 1944.

Nazi-Punchers STORMY FOSTER: THE GREAT DEFENDER "Castle of Kinga Korman"

Though He Primarily-Fought Japanese Spies and Saboteurs...

...West Coast-based "superhero on a budget" The Great Defender took on anyone who tried to interfere with America's homefront wartime efforts!

Shy timid drug store clerk Stormy Foster would don an outfit of t-shirt, gym shorts, track shoes and cape made out of a tablecloth, replace his glasses with a fake mustache, take a super-vitamin pill that gave him super-strength, speed, and limited invulnerability and jump into battle, as you'll now see...

You'll note that drug store delivery boy Ah Choo doesn't recognize co-worker Stormy as The Great Defender.

Either the "replace glasses with mustache" disguise is better than I thought or the writers of this never-reprinted story illustrated by Max Elkan from Quality's Hit Comics #21 (1942) just didn't care.
Stormy's strip ran in Hit Comics from 18 to 34 (1944).
He fought Nazis several more times before the series ended.
He's never been reprinted or revived in new material since!

Nazi-Punchers LIBERTY SCOUTS "The Sentinel: Who He Is and How He Came to Be!"

One of the Weirder Patriotic Nazi-Punching Characters of the Golden Age is This Guy...

...created from whole cloth by the Spirit of America herself!

This never-reprinted, pre-Pearl Harbor tale from Centaur's Liberty Scouts #3 (1941), illustrated by George Wilson, was one of many showing Americans were clearly worried about the Axis pulling us into the already-ongoing World War II.

A number of these new patriotic defenders of the USA were typical American citizens either possessed by, or given powers by, mystic entities embodying some aspect of America.
But this being (and Uncle Sam, who apparently was "The American Spirit" in physical form) were created out of thin air, without a human intermediary.
Unlike Uncle Sam, who's had a long existence in comics, from the Golden Age to the present via Quality Comics & DC Comics, The Sentinel made only three appearances before being drawn back into the ether!
Even when other characters from the Centaur Comics line like The Arrow, Man of War, and even The Ferret, were revived by Malibu Comics in the late 1980s, The Sentinel was nowhere to be found!
Note: the George Wilson who illustrated this comic story is not painter George Wilson who did hundreds of cover paintings for Dell and Gold Key comics as well as paperbacks featuring sci-fi/fantasy and super-heroes from the 1950s to the 1980s!
George Homer Wilson started out as a pulp magazine illustrator doing both cover paintings and pen and ink interior illustrations before adding comic books to his already-busy schedule from 1940 thru 1942!

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!"
