   This issue bravely, and more overtly, confronted the elephant in the room the previous issue wasn't allowed to touch on for fear of being "too political;" the upfront condemnation of Adolf Hitler. It is easy, thanks to historical revisionism, to pretend America was always a standing example of heroism and compassion, and never at any point stand by the actions of Nazi Germany. It would be a much better version of history if it had been this way.

It is easy, thanks to historical revisionism, to pretend America was always a standing example of heroism and compassion, and never at any point stand by the actions of Nazi Germany. It would be a much better version of history if it had been this way. America not only did not condemn Hitler, they actively PRAISED his actions against Jews up until they knew he was killing them. Films like "the Great Dictator" and comic books like this were controversial as HELL in their day for holding no bars and vilifying the Nazis in the eyes of a Nazi sympathetic public. It's a defining moment in the characters history, that he was essentially willing to raise a big middle finger to government establishment when it lacked compassion. He didn't fight in the name of the American Agenda, as this was overtly against it at the time: he fought in the name of what SHOULD be the American Agenda... to show compassion for all creeds and colors.

   A great piece of ww2 history right here. Obviously not due to the realism of story, but for the unique cultural references and piece of the 40's that we get to experience through this book. The close resemblance to political comics and caricatures gives us an insight of the fears and views of Americans regarding the ongoing conflict that shook the world back then. For that, this series has a strange appeal for me, and I'm sure it will have the same for any other enthusiast of history or cultural A great piece of ww2 history right here.

   Great comic. There’s a definite focus of Nazi villains. The villains aren’t lame so it makes the reading intriguing. It is a shame about the light homophobia of the times.

   In for another reread. This reminds me of middle school days, coming home from school and sitting down on the couch, getting lost in another world until everyone else came home. Ah, nostalgia.
