At first I thought this was a genuine Golden Age cover, until I realized that the artwork had a surprisingly Kirbyesque, Silver Age feel (and the logo was oddly modern looking). It turns out that Surprising Comics was a 1999 attempt to reprint Golden Age stories, whose cover was pencilled by long-time Kirby inker Chic Stone, and inked by Tom Hickey. I can't find a direct lift for this pose, but there are quite a few 1960s Kirby covers that look suspiciously similar.
And now you know...
Oh and the character engaged in Mighty-Thor-esque grapplage with Hitler is named 'Nemesis.'
And now you know even more...
This is another one where I can't remember the credit. Anyone wants to take it, it's yours.
