Kentucky CollectionWartime comics are one of the most popular genres for collectors, these gems of the Golden Age combine the early history of superheroes with the historic realities of a global conflagration, and the variety of colorful, patriotic covers that these books were wrapped in are worth the price of admission alone. One of the interesting subgenres in WWII books was the stateside wartime comic, where espionage and sneaky plots of sabotage were de rigueur, in hearkening back to the pulpy mystery plots of the pulps, these tales of Axis threats taking place in the good old U.S. of A. kept readers coming back for more. In All Star Comics #4, the newly minted JSA is called upon by none other than J. Edgar Hoover to stop a homespun Nazi bund plot that is unraveling across the Nation. “For America and Democracy” is a rollicking ride illustrated by six of DC’s finest artists, including Bernard Baily, E.E. Hibbard, Mart Nodell, and Shelly Moldoff. The story was intended to raise an alarm amongst the American populace to be on guard against the rise of Fascism at home, and to stand up for the tenets of Democracy that our great nation was built on, a lesson that still sadly requires retelling today.
With just over one hundred copies of this book on the census, collectors are always happy to see one of these issues show up in an auction. The determined attitude of the body language and stern faces displayed on the JSA reflect the resolve of the American people as the war overseas looms ever closer to the homefront, a true classic of Golden Age comic history. This book sits near the top of the CGC census, it presents as extremely sturdy given its advanced age, the tight spine and vibrant color palette imbue the book with a liveliness that has survived through the ages to arrive in our auction, and, in due time, to some devoted collector’s happy home.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VF/NM (9.0) value = $8,021.
