Oh, Golden Age...

You...well, maybe complete is a strong word.



To sum up: Captain Freedom, dressed in yet another one of the ugliest flag costumes imaginable, takes a swing at Hitler, who is singlehandedly leading an army of what appear to be elf-boot-wearing Lovecraftian Horrors from the Deep through an incredibly well-made and presumably secret tunnel underneath the White House.

No, I think I'm going to stick with it:

Oh, Golden Age, you complete me.

Speed #16 cover is possibly by Al Avison, though if it is, he must have been rushed.

Thanks to Olaf.

It's Alex Schomberg Week's Appendix!

Found one more cover from the crown prince of Hitler abuse:

While "The Grim Reaper" could certainly be doing a bit more punching, I like his work in the field of flag-trampling.

Art from the cover of Wonder Comics #1, with art by you-know-who.

Thanks to rcs.

Want Some Whimsy?

You've come to the right place...


Well, if your idea of whimsy is a genocidal Hitler spider in a tank being battled by a super-powered worm, such childlike wonder can be found in Taffy #2.

rcs discovered this here.

Go Team Venture!

Or more accurately, "Go Team Personification of the American Spirit and Personification of Child Endangerment!"


Still, the spirit is there.

Uncle Sam's scrappy sidekick Buddy uses Hitler as a step-stool in National Comics #38, with art by Alex Kotzky, who is probably better known for his work on Apartment 3-G.

Sorry today's is late...

But, we've been chasing Hitler all day.

Hitler scarpers from being whupped by tweens in Boy Comics #7, with art by Charles Biro.

Thanks to Olaf, who is probably a lot more punctual than I am.

Why is Hitler So Sad?

I'll tell you why:



It's 2010 and this silly blog I had no idea would last more than a week is still abusing him!

I assume this cover was drawn by Mac Raboy.

Sorry this is sorta half-assed, but this is my day off too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sweat it Out, Adolf!

You will be getting punched. Oh yes.



I have no idea who drew the cover to Prize Comics #37, but I'm hoping Yank and Doodle moved up the food chain.

It's Golden Age Policy...

All heroes must go after the middle-aged, unarmed politician first, while allowing your underage sidekick to tackle the Luger-toting career soldier.

Way to follow protocol, Eagle.

Also, per Weird Comics #20 (artist unknown), that Winston Churchill is still getting himself into scrapes.

An admission: I almost just credited Olaf for this out of habit, even though I found this my own damn self.

BONK!

Really, what else is there to say, but...?

BONK!

This mysterious beflagged man BONKS Hitler and Tojo together on Power Comics #2, art signed "DEL," which may by Maurice del Bourgo.

Oh, and seriously, anyone and everyone out there who wants to draw me a Christmas Krampus spanking Hitler, by all means send it to HitlerPuncher AT gmail DOT com. My grinchy little Hitler Punching heart will grow three sizes if you do.

We'll Meet Again...

I question the wisdom of this plan, Sam...



Sam and Buddy do their Slim Pickens impression in National Comics #30. It looks like the artist might be Reed Crandall.

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails?

Hardly.

Arrows and Slingshots and Shards of Broken Glass?

NOW THAT'S WHAT BOYS ARE MADE OF!

Hitler and the gang are about to get what for in Boy Comics #4, with art by Charles Biro.

Thanks to Olaf.

I Dream Of Punching Hitler This Hard

You know, sometimes it's just nice to see someone deck Der Fuhrer so hard he flies through the air:

Don't you feel better for seeing that? I know I do.

Captain Courageous cold-cocks Hitler (almost as well as Destroyer does) in Banner Comics #3 (artist unknown). Of course, He may punch as well as Destroyer, but his uniform is only about half as goofy...

A Most Thrilling Fast Action Adventure Story!

Thank you, Cat-Man, for giving me the best possible reason to buy War Bonds:

To fund the race to put a Hitler on the moon.

Not sure who drew the cover for Cat-Man #19, but whoever it is should be proud of the masterful portrayal of Hitler getting punched into orbit.

Because You Didn't NOT Ask For It!

I bring you a little more Uncle Sam action(lessness).

Up until this point I had never imagined Uncle Sam vs. Mechagodzilla. Now there is nothing I want to see more.

Giant Uncle Sam shows his stern disapproval in Uncle Sam Quarterly #7, with art by Al Bryant. And, hopefully delivers a right cross to the Fuhrer's jaw at some point.

Who Put This Swastika Here?!?

No matter. When unwanted swastikas show up...

...I know a guy to call.

Uncle Sam and his sidekick Buddy bust up symbols of evil and hand out black eyes in Uncle Sam Quarterly #5, with art by Al Gabriele.

The Best Advice You Can Give the Youth of Today?

GIVE HITLER THE BUM'S RUSH!

Thank you, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, for teaching us about life and love.

The Boy Commandos give Hitler just that in Boy Commandos #2.

So Long, From Alex Schomburg Week

Saying goodbye is so hard...



I mean, unless you're saying goodbye to those Dirty Ratzis.

But it will be tough to say goodbye to Alex Schomburg Week. I'll miss his clean linework, his dedication to Hitler abuse, and most of all, his hidden Mussolinis (okay, there's no Mussolini in this one since it's from 1945, but Goering is pretty fat and slovenly and makes a fine surrogate).

But HGP will be back tomorrow with another fist to Hitler's face. See you there!

I Don't Think I Can Parse This

But, note that Mussolini is once again making an appearance on this Alex Schomburg cover. Good eye, Olaf. Man, I even have to credit you on things I find myself...


Bucky and Toro whup the hell out of the Axis leaders AND some sort of weird Buddhist-Hindu-Mayan fertility symbol in Young Allies #9.

I Wouldn't Do That If I Were You...

Of course, if I were Hitler, I would probably punch myself.


The Black Terror, Doc Strange, American Eagle, and Pyroman are about to give Hitler a Stern Punching To in America's Best Comics #7. Art is once again by the legendary Alex Schomburg.

Reasons To Thankful, Part 3.

I'm thankful for a lot of things this time of year: friends, family, Batman, the fact that my fiancee said yes, etc.

But I'm especially thankful for Hitler abuse. Which means, this week, I am thankful for Alex Schomburg. And The Fighting Yank:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!

Except Hitler. Screw that guy.

I'm also thankful to Olaf, for being one of the main reasons I've been able to keep this little blog afloat for this long.
