Zeg

Few characters can claim a debut as storied as Zeg's — launched in Military Comics #1 in 1941, one of the most celebrated first issues of the Golden Age, brought to life by a creative dream team that included the legendary Will Eisner alongside Bob Powell and Chuck Cuidera. That's about as prestigious a starting point as Golden Age comics get, and collectors have rightly flagged it as a key issue. Published under the Quality Comics banner, Zeg shares the pages with some of the era's most memorable wartime figures — Blackhawk, Olaf, Hendrickson, Chuck, and Boris among them — placing this character squarely in the thick of Golden Age action-adventure storytelling at its most vibrant. With appearances stretching across reprints and collections all the way to 2024, including showcases in America at War: The Best of DC War Comics and Gwandanaland Comics, Zeg is a genuine piece of comics history worth tracking down for any serious Golden Age enthusiast.
