Al Avison WWII Nazi robot bondage cover (6/42)Young Stanley Leiber, aka Stan Lee, aspiring novelist and brash young upstart, was already putting his mark on the Marvel stable long before there was a Marvel, during the glory days of WWII Timely publications, penning typically grandiose yarns in between office gopher jaunts and editorial errands. Aided by the able art staff of Timely, the departure of Cap creator Jack Kirby was smoothed over with dramatic WWII propaganda on the covers and sweaty, manic hero yarns within. The typical intense bondage-and-branding cover shows the Timely staff firing on all cylinders and boasts both our titular hero and his teenage sidekick fearlessly swooping in on massively grotesque baddies.
