I picked up a Spy Smasher #6 a few weeks ago and loved it so much I went looking for more. Here's a Spy Smasher #11 that arrived in today's mail. Love the paratrooper cover. I think someone else around here likes those too.
Here's a shot of the first splash. In the first story Spy Smasher investigates "haunted" machines at an American war plant, and this is a pretty cool action shot of him fighting one. Of course the "hauntings" are really trickery by Japanese saboteurs.
This centerfold splash I really like. Nice colors, nice layout, and I like the way the flags frame the scene. And the villain, the Man Without a Flag, has a delightfully ludicrous origin story:
"I was born on a Red Cross ship on the International Dateline! The Captain was Swedish! My father was German! My mother was American! The Ship flew the Dutch flag! I WAS CLAIMED BY NO COUNTRY!
For years a wrangle went on over my citizenship. Then my parents died! The ship went down with all records! And I had no country! NO COUNTRY AT ALL! I was bewildered, lost bitter...
So I became the Man Without a Flag. If no country would have me, I would bow down to no FLAG!
I sell my services to the highest bidder!"
