Infantino art + a Bill Finger story; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)After the end of World War II Captain America and Bucky had to find some new enemies to pursue, and as times changed, so did the tenor and scope of the material in Timely's hero stable. This issue features Cap engaging in a battle with the Crooner, a Frank Sinatra-style singer who were all the rage in the post-war pop culture. The fascinating period after the war, where cape books floundered and gave rise to genre comics, was once maligned as lacking in appeal, but many collectors are now cottoning to the esoteric treats of this interesting time, underappreciated in their day these books are seeing a renewed attraction by fans who want to pursue a deep dive into the industry's colorful history.
