John Sikela WWII Nazi tank cover; Hitler app.
Ruben Blades Copy
Action Comics #59 boasts one of the WWII era's most patriotic covers, with John Sikela showing Superman tearing off the top of a Nazi tank. The artist was originally born in Slovakia before ending up in Ohio, where he would become one of the brightest stars of Joe Shuster's studio of early Superman artists. Sikela would also later be battling Nazis himself at the Battle of the Bulge. This classic issue's contents are full of patriotic fervor, too, although Superman gets sidelined to a fanciful lead story where he dreams himself into a retelling of "Cinderella." (He falls asleep while reading a bedtime story to Susie Tompkins, making her first appearance as Lois Lane's troublesome niece.) That leaves the Three Aces to fight Nazis in Malta, while the Americommando foils a Nazi plot in "Missive for Mussolini!"
