All-American Comics #5

All-American Comics #5 (August 1939) opens a new serial, "The American Way" featuring Fredric March, announced right at the top of Walter Galli's cover — which presents four vignette panels tracing an American journey across time: immigrants arriving before the Statue of Liberty in 1896, a festive Fourth of July community parade in 1908, soldiers marching through the mud of 1917, and a determined man gesturing passionately before an American flag. Packed with patriotic energy, this ten-cent anthology also promises beloved strips like Mutt & Jeff, Skippy, Scribbly, Mystery Men of Mars, and Ripley's "Believe It or Not," making it a genuine cross-section of what All-American Comics delivered to readers in its early months.
