Marvel presents more Golden Age goodness from 1941-1942. (Yes, folks, odd numbering was not solely the province of modern comic books; the Torch's solo book had two #5s)

Only the Human Torch, Toro, Kazar, the Patriot and the Angel stand in his way of total world conquest. Then the most fantastic plot in the history of modern warfare plunges the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner into an epic struggle against each other when the villainous Python hypnotizes Torch into aiding Hitler's cause.

Plus, Torch and Toro face off against the Secret Arsenal, the Legion of Despair and Agent X. Also featuring 'Tubby & Tack,' 'Swoopy the Fearless,' stories by pulp legend Mickey Spillane and Basil Wolverton's 'Peculiar People.'

Hot on the heels of the explosion of star-spangled super heroes, U.S.A. COMICS presented a wild and wooly selection of patriotic characters fighting for the Red, White and Blue.

From the Victory Boys and the American Avenger to wilder heroes like Roko the Amazing, the Blue Blaze and the Fighting Hobo, U.S.A. was a comics magazine bursting at the seams with crazy concepts. But with the Second World War raging, it became clear there was only one hero who could headline a book titled U.S.A.: Captain America! Backed up by the Destroyer, Marvel Boy and the Whizzer - as well as the adventures of regular joes like Sergeant Dix and Jeep Jones, and true tales of WWII - U.S.A. COMICS was the perfect dose of four-color excitement for the American G.I.!

Sporting some of the most famous covers of comics' Golden Age, the early Captain America issues of U.S.A. are some of the rarest Marvel comics of all time, and they're collected here for the first time ever!

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Summer 1946-Spring 1947!" Collects The Spirit (1944-1950 Quality) #5-8. Stories and art by Will Eisner, Lou Fine, and Jack Cole. Cover by Lou Fine. The Spirit is a fictional masked crime fighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner, who fights crime with the blessing of the city's police commissioner Dolan, an old friend. Despite the Spirit's origin as detective/criminologist Denny Colt, his real identity was rarely referred to after his first appearance, and for all intents and purposes he was simply "The Spirit." The stories are presented in a wide variety of styles, from straight forward crime drama and noir to lighthearted adventure, from mystery and horror to comedy and love stories, often with hybrid elements that twisted genre and reader expectations. Comic book stories from the 1940s and 1950s may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American culture. Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While not representing the publisher's view of today's society, these stories are printed as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Hardcover, 208 pages, full color. Cover price $52.99.
