Star Spangled Comics #14

In "The Meanest Man on Earth!", the Legion faces a cunning con artist who masquerades as a philanthropist in Suicide Slum, charming residents into funding a housing project—only to vanish with their savings. Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Simon, this 1942 classic blends wartime grit with a sharp moral twist, all rendered in the dynamic style that defined the era. The cover, by Kirby and Simon, captures the tension of deception in a single, striking image.
