Amazing Man Comics #22

Paul Gustavson's cover for this May 1941 Centaur issue puts Amazing-Man at the center of an all-out brawl, trading blows with a swarm of enormous green creatures bearing swastika markings — a vivid wartime image of America's anxieties made flesh. Buildings crumble, bricks fly, and a uniformed officer and a fallen figure in red add to the chaos surrounding our hero as he stands his ground, fists blazing with energy. With the "Portable-Man Escapes" story inside, drawn by Sam Decker, this issue captures the bold, frantic spirit of Golden Age superhero comics at full throttle.
