Lou Fine/Will Eisner cvr! origin of Uncle Sam (Fall 1941)
Ruben Blades CopyAlthough Uncle Sam first appeared in National Comics #1 this is his 1st appearance in his own title! Legendary creators including Lou Fine, Will Eisner and Jack Cole's work can be found in this premier issue. Uncle Sam was an interesting character in the annals of comicdom, one of the few based on existing Americana in the tradition of Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed, and although undergoing several iterations through to the Modern Age, Sam always took his visual cues from the iconic J.M. Flagg recruitment poster, which was a self-portrait.
