Whiz Comics #32 offers one of the more whimsical classic WWII covers, as Captain Marvel gets caught up in "The War of the Trolls." The cover story became an instant classic as Captain Marvel stumbles into an underground world and has to save Troll-Land from the menaces of Adolf-Puss and Blabbermouth Musso. (The Trolls would be popular enough to make a return five issues later.) This fanciful tale showed off C.C. Becks artistry at its best, with a particularly compelling cover that still draws in Golden Age collectors. On the more serious side, Spy Smasher also appears to take on some proper Nazis.
Artist Information
Beck was the artist most closely associated with the original Captain Marvel at Fawcett Comics, he was the main illustrator for Whiz Comics in the Golden Age while also working on Ibis the Invincible and Spy Smasher. Later in his career he specialized in Golden Age recreations, he also created the oddball Fatman and the Flying Saucer title for Milson Publications.
