Steamboat

Steamboat made their Golden Age debut in the pages of Whiz Comics #29 in 1942, brought to life by Otto Binder and Mark Schneider at Fawcett Comics — stepping into one of the most colorful corners of the era, sharing issues with the likes of Billy Batson, Captain Marvel, and even the villainous Mr. Mind and Adolf Hitler himself. Most at home in Captain Marvel Adventures and Whiz Comics, Steamboat is a figure rooted in that wonderfully pulpy wartime world where heroes and history collided on every splash page. It's a modest catalog footprint, but the character's Golden Age pedigree and the remarkable company they keep — stretching in reprints all the way to 2018 — make Steamboat a genuine piece of Fawcett history worth seeking out for any serious collector of the era.
