I Choose To Interpret This Thusly:

"Superman, noticing Hitler out of the corner of his eye...


...knocks a Nazi bomb into his fat Fuhrer face."

You can tell me otherwise, but I won't believe you.

This happens on the cover of DC Special #29, drawn by the incomparable Neal Adams.

If you sent this to me, remind me. I have the feeling I didn't find this myself, but I have no notes to the contrary.

Welcome Back, Steve!

We all missed you!


...or, most of us did.

This face-smashingly awesome reason to be happy that Steve Rogers is scheduled to come back from "death" today is from Captain America's Bicentennial Battles, published in 1976 (the year your Star-Spangled Blogger was born, by the way). If you can't tell this was penciled by Jack Kirby by now, shame on you. Inks are by either Barry Windsor-Smith or Herb Trimpe (heck, either one is fine by me).

Thanks to Olaf.

What If....

...the Human Torch decided to immolate Hitler two days in a row?

Neil sent me these three pages a while back (click to enlarge):


...but the real money shot is here:

Torch had no choice...You saw him...he had a gun.

Pages are from What If? #4, vol. 1 (Aug '77), "What if the Invaders Stayed Together After World War Two?" written by Roy Thomas with art by Frank Springer (who passed away a scant few months before I started this blog).

Gutzon Borglum Is Rolling in His Grave

You know, I'm willing to bet there are few things that could upset Uncle Sam more than if a certain Austrian War Criminal decided to add his face to a certain mountain in a certain Dakota...

I mean, I can't imagine he would take it well...


Not well AT all...


Uh huh. That's pretty much the response I expected.

Oh, Living Embodiment of the American Spirit, is there any problem you can't solve by punching?

God, I hope not. Or we are screwed.

This choice example of Knuckle-Based Hitler-Demolition appears in Justice League of America #108 - with more info to be found here. It was pencilled by Dick Dillin, inked by Dick Giordano, and submitted by Olaf, who is clearly NOT a Dick in any meaning of the word.

P.S. - if you knew what the title of this post meant without looking it up, kudos for paying attention in your Elementary School Social Studies class.
