DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs; cvrless (Hitler splash)
Super-Rare! WWII hypodermic needle cover, Hitler splash; last issue (12/41)Hillman Comics was a periodical publisher that decided to jump into the fray in the Golden Age and get in on the comic book action that was sweeping newsstands nationwide. Mainly known for the Airboy comic, Hillman also put out Victory Comics to take advantage of the patriotic fervor that exploded across the US upon the country’s entrance into WWII. The main protagonist was the Conqueror, who donned a red, white, and blue uniform and swung into battle against the Axis forces, setting his sights squarely on the ultimate goal of bringing down Hitler himself. The series would only last for four issues, this being the final entry in the run, and the book hewed closely to the well-established anthology format of the Golden Age. While all wartime comics are in and of themselves interesting and important collectibles, the short run on Victory Comics is known for being particularly hard to find, and therefore very desirable to collectors of the genre.
