☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeOur Flag Comics #2 is an anthology featuring "The Flag," a patriotic superhero who battles enemy forces attacking American cities, and "Glass," a detective story by Cliff Howe about Deputy Anderson investigating a series of murders in the Pacific Northwest connected to bootleg liquor smuggling during Prohibition. In "The Flag" segment, the hero thwarts Nazi bombing raids on Manhattan by coordinating defense operations from skyscraper units across the city. In "Glass," Anderson traces an octagon-shaped gin bottle to identify the killers—rum-runner associates of the criminal "Cannon-Ball" Baker—ultimately securing a first-degree murder conviction for Baker and an accomplice in the killing of Captain Gillis and his son.
Jim Courtney, a young man raised by a patriotic flag-maker, discovers on his twenty-first birthday that he's been chosen by the spirits of American history itself to become a champion for his country. Granted superhuman strength, speed, and invulnerability through a mysterious birthmark, Jim takes on the identity of the Flag and is soon thrust into action when enemy forces begin a sinister real attack disguised as routine military war games. With Nazi saboteurs like Valdemar orchestrating an invasion of the Eastern Seaboard, the newly empowered hero must prove himself worthy of the sacred trust placed in him.
Major Al Williams, a pioneering naval aviator who earned his Distinguished Flying Cross, risked his career advancing the science of flight—from winning the 1923 Pulitzer Prize Race to testing experimental aircraft that had already claimed five lives. When a dangerous training plane proved deadly, Williams volunteered to push it to the breaking point, gathering crucial data that saved future pilots even as he faced his own devastating crash. His relentless pursuit of speed and aeronautical knowledge would reshape aviation and the fight for a unified air force.
