Combating everyone from World War II Axis armies to voodoo priestesses and atomic saboteurs, the super heroes of the Golden Age engaged in adventures wilder than any other. And in the pages of ALL-WINNERS COMICS, the solo adventures of Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch and their cohorts were worth every thin dime. Of course, Marvel's greatest Golden Age heroes had already been together in one book, but there was one winning concept that hadn't been explored - a team-up! Now, at last, the fantastic tales that brought together Captain America, Bucky, the Human Torch, Toro, the Sub-Mariner, Miss America and the Whizzer as Marvel's first super-hero team - the All-Winners Squad - are presented complete and painstakingly restored for the first time!

Joining forces, these seven heroes appeared in two amazing book-length adventures in which they raced to solve the perplexing riddle of Isbisa, and journeyed across the globe and back in a fierce fight with Madame Death and the Future Man!

Also including the one-issue relaunch of ALL-WINNERS featuring the beautiful Blonde Phantom, this volume proudly completes your collection - making us winners one and all!

In the early 1940s, Superman was a much needed hero for a nation on the brink of war. The Man of Steel (and the comic book medium) were in their Golden Age, and with each new story, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster were continuing to expand and enrich the world of their still-relatively-new creation. In these early adventures, Superman must protect the citizens of Metropolis from a variety of threats ranging from insurance scams and gangsters to spies and saboteurs.

Plus, Lex Luthor returns to cement his place as Supermans archnemesis, with more schemes and gadgets than any other villain facing the Man of Steel!

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "August 1948-September 1949!" Collects The Spirit (1944-1950 Quality) #13-17. Written by Will Eisner. Art by Will Eisner and Lou Fine. Cover by Will Eisner. 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. Softcover, 212 pages, full color. Cover price $32.99.
