classic Syd Shores WWII Hitler, Goering, and Goebbels cover; 1st app. Leopard Woman
Captain America Comics #36 offers yet another classic WWII cover from Syd Shores, with a true hat trick of real-life Nazi villains getting their comeuppance. Syd manages to work in Hitler, Goering, and Goebbels for an enduring artifact of how comics balanced the horrors of World War II with ridicule for its architects. The looks of shock and bewilderment on the faces of Adolph and his toadies (while Bucky blasts away with a machine gun) make for an indelible image of the Golden Age — exposing the Nazi threat as a joke when confronted with the might of American muscle and daring.
Human Torch and Toro show up inside the issue to investigate some Hollywood homicides. Captain America has two stories; the first has the sole appearance of the doomed Dr. Necrosis; "The Strange Mystery of the Leopard Woman" introduces a feline female (and Nazi spy) who'd later appear in the pages of Marvel Comics to terrorize Wakanda.
This GD copy has some signs of its age showing, battle-weary though it may be this cover is still attractive, with crisp hues and solid corners. This classic issue doesn't turn up often, but when it does, it is a special occasion. True Golden Age fans know any comic with Hitler on the cover can go for multiples of guide, condition notwithstanding, these are the treasures of wartime comics that never go out of style, as trends come and go, there will always be a market for these books.
