The Destroyer & The Whizzer begin, Hitler app.
Chicago Copy
Highest GradedSimon & Kirby art.
This was Timely's first attempt at an all-star super-hero team featuring Captain America, The Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner. Marvel's Golden Age was at its peak during World War II and these characters were on the front-lines month after month, deservedly so. Cap would make a strong comeback in the early 60's and again with the release of Captain America: The First Avenger on the silver screen, where he remains a cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe today. There is very little to say regarding this copy of All Winners #2 as it is in NM (9.4) condition and is the highest graded according to the CGC census. In other words, there are no known copies of this book that are in equal or better condition! And for a comic that is seventy-six-years old, this copy is quite spectacular with off-the-rack shine and tremendous colors.

Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
