AMERICA'S GREATEST COMICS Volume 2

Collects #3-4, 1942.

Two more massive 100-page, fifteen-cent issues that collected together the top superheros from Fawcett. Primo wartime issues! Captain Marvel, alias Billy Batson, drawn by C.C. Beck; Spy Smasher (by the great (Mac Raboy), the master of espionage; Bulletman, a flying crime-fighter with super strength; Minute Man, unmatched in speed and agility; and Mr. Scarlet, the crimson-clad avenger, and now joined by Commando Yank, origin story by Charles Sultan.  Ibis the Invincible and Spy Smasher have cameo appearances in the Captain Marvel story, in a rare early cross-over. Additional creators include Tom Mcnamara and Phil Bard. Superior golden age comics...at this time, Fawcett may have already been outselling DC's Superman; Captain Marvel was the #1 selling comic book for several years at this time. Which explains why, sadly, DC kept pursuing their lawsuit against Captain Marvel, claiming he was an imitation of Superman.
