All-American Comics #4

A wonderfully energetic piece of 1939 Americana, this fourth issue of All-American Comics features cover art by William A. Smith depicting a lively, patriotic scuffle centered on a boldly waving American flag — with a soldier, a sailor, and several scrappy civilians all caught up in the action. Strip characters from the book's lineup are previewed in portrait vignettes along both sides, promising a lively mix of adventure and humor, while a banner announces that young Scribbly is kicking off a brand-new adventure inside. Billed as "America's Greatest Adventure and Humor Strips — For All American Boys and Girls," this dime comic delivers exactly that kind of wide-ranging, all-ages excitement.
