U. S. Jones

Patriotically named and Golden Age-born, U. S. Jones made his debut in Wonderworld Comics #32 in 1941, courtesy of creator Anthony Brooks, arriving at exactly the moment when red-white-and-blue heroism was the order of the day. He shares the storied pages of that era with the likes of Green Mask, The Flame, and Targeteer — a remarkable roster of Fox Feature Syndicate–era icons that speaks to the rich, pulpy world he inhabits. What makes Jones genuinely fascinating for collectors is his remarkable staying power: a character who first appeared in the Golden Age turning up decades later in AC Comics' FemForce and All-Hero Retro Comics Annual is a testament to the enduring affection fans have for that earliest generation of comic heroes. Rare in the catalog and steeped in history, U. S. Jones is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes vintage comics hunting so rewarding.
