classic WWII battle cover; Hitler app. (1/43)The early days of WWII were a frightening and tumultuous time, with the American people stiffening their spines and showing a brave front to the world, but inwardly full of doubt, fear, panic, and rage, with the war coming hot on the heels of a depression that seemed to grind on interminably. The frenetic, almost psychotic mood of the time exploded into the culture via anarchic humor, hyperpatriotic fervor, and, in comics, especially, a bloodthirsty hunger for more and more jingoistic derring do. Timely was in the forefront of this movement, with the covers of Captain America reaching a feverish level of ultra-violence and nearly panicked energy by early 1943. Among the most violent and hysterical of WWII covers, comics fans go nuts for these rare treasures, especially jarring and startling in our modern, PC era.
