The Mayflower Compact

The Mayflower Compact, a single-issue series from Vital Publications in 1958, reimagines the Pilgrims' historic 1620 agreement as a foundational document for a secret society of superheroes. This Golden Age one-shot, primarily associated with writer-artist Frank Giunta, is notable for its ambitious attempt to blend American history with the nascent superhero genre. While it never continued beyond its debut, its premise of a centuries-old pact inspiring modern heroism has intrigued collectors and historians of obscure comics.
