Kirby WWII Nazi bondage/torture cover
Another entry in the Golden Age Axis-bashing theme, USA Comics #1 features a ferocious cover image as Kirby and Simon's Defender bounds to the rescue of a soldier held in bondage by a Nazi witch and her evil lackeys. This early Jack Kirby masterwork of illustration presents the best of what war-era comic books had to offer; a costumed hero, bristling with muscles, rushing onward into the fray against the sinister forces of evil. It seems fairly obvious that the Defender was an early incarnation of an idea that would soon become the legendary Captain America. Essentially a testing ground for new concepts and characters until the appearance of Captain America in issue #6, this classic inaugural book of yet another hard to find title is sure to excite the growing fan base for WWII Timely titles, whose rarity and desirability only increase over time.
