Young Allies #2 is the kind of Golden Age wartime comic that easily tops the Want Lists of genre collectors. Envisioned as a sidekick team-up book, Bucky and Toro appear here without their adult companions Captain America and The Human Torch. This inspired marketing sold plenty of comics and continued to be a common trope in comics for decades to come.
The issue's classic Syd Shores cover is straight out of an Alex Schomburg fever dream as the Young Allies burst through a wall in a strange tank-like contraption (with Toro flying in to pitch a fireball). They're just in time, too, because a den of Nazis is preparing to brand a couple of their bound compatriots. Pure Golden Age mayhem!
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!

Primarily and inker in the Golden Age Gabriele worked with industry greats Jack Kirby and Alex Schomburg, contributed to Sub-Mariner and Captain America Comics and helped create Miss America and Black Marvel. Last known work in comics in 1949.
